Mixotrophs were labelled as a freak in nature.
Falling oxygen levels caused by global warming could be a greater threat to the survival of life on Earth than flooding as climate change continues.
A change in the ocean's top layer of water may be affecting how carbon dioxide is filtered out of our atmosphere.
