In a recent submission to Planet Forward, Jessica Hellmann discussed her efforts to encourage "assisted migration" in some bug populations threatened by the rapidly changing climate. Hellmann constructed climate-controlled biospheres in a laboratory environment -- a test tube planet, with chambers representing everything from deserts to marshes and temperate forests....

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday it will turn up the power on its electric fish barrier on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to keep Asian carp from migrating into Lake Michigan.
Federal officials promised Friday to improve two crucial weapons in the fight to prevent Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes: an electric fish barrier near Chicago and an early-warning system that detects carp DNA in waterways.
