Bats, sea otters and climate change

It's Monday, and that means it's time to look at last week's articles.

There weren't a huge amount this time around, as many articles are still working their way toward publication. But here's what we've got:

First off, three new Extinction Countdown articles for Scientific American:

Study: Climate change identified as extinction threat in nearly 60 percent of species recovery plans

California sea otter populations sink as research funding dries up

Fatal fungus could kill off U.S. Northeast's little brown bats in 20 years


And last, my latest for Tonic.com:

Sierra Club Names America's Greenest Universities
