New research challenges idea that ocean acidification affects fish behavior
A decade-long study led by comparative physiologist Timothy Clark at Deakin University in Geelong, Australia has challenged the long-held notion among marine biologists that rising levels of ocean acidification will disturb fish behavior. The research analysed individuals belonging to six distinct reef species and found no change in behavior for levels of acidification consistent with climate models for this century.

Study reveals babies exposed to Zika virus have developmental defects
A small study conducted in Colombia of mothers who suffered from the Zika virus while pregnant has revealed that while their births were healthy, the 70 babies studied suffered from long term developmental defects up to 18 months of age, with slowed movement and social interaction capabilities. The virus did not appear to affect the babies' fetal development and head circumference.
