Tiny geolocators measure light levels and atmospheric pressure to reveal the migrations of small songbirds – including the yellow-rumped warbler, also known as a butter-butt – in unprecedented detail.

By listening in on their nightly hunts, scientists discovered that small, fringe-lipped bats are unexpectedly able to efficiently take down prey nearly their own size.
In some of the most remote places on Earth, tags attached to seals collect data at the cutting edge of ocean science.
The machine learning model can work in the absence of video data, identifying prey capture events from new acceleration and depth data.
Already critically endangered, the southern bent-wing bat is still declining in a drying climate. If we don’t step in, it will likely be extinct within three generations of bat.
