TL;DR: In this paper, a climate reconstruction for the past millennium shows that temperature differences between the north and the south reflect internal variability in storm tracks and cloud cover, and that European summer temperatures are controlled by multiple factors.

TL;DR: The absolutely dated bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) tree-ring chronology spans almost 9000 years, offering great potential for inferring past environmental change as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The inability of current models to adequately replicate changes in stomatal response to rising levels of CO2 concentrations, and thus to quantify the associated physiological forcing, warrants further investigation.

TL;DR: This study provides an initial description of spatial learning in a benthic decapod; a better appreciation of this adaptive trait in these animals will develop the understanding of resource exploitation by benthics crustaceans and their ecological roles.

TL;DR: The authors found that Northern Fennoscandia has experienced little summer warming over recent decades, in stark contrast to the hemispheric trend, which is strongly linked to greenhouse gas emissions.
