You need to already know what a rewilded landscape should look like, in order to generate a convincing image of one.
A new report finds 325 migratory fish species in urgent need of help, including some of the world’s most iconic freshwater giants.
As beavers reshape rivers, wetlands become a natural storage system for carbon.
Invasive alien species don’t only drive out other native species, they also dramatically transform soils, water and ecosystems. A new assessment tool aims to pinpoint the negative environmental impacts.
Farming areas that use lots of fertilizers and pesticides stood out for the swift and accelerating decline of their bird populations.
The newly described fossil goose Meterchen luti lived alongside crocodilians and turtles on the shores of the ancient Lake Manuherikia.
Several years worth of findings from a floating laboratory have tapped into a well-stocked coral library of taxonomic, genetic and chemical diversity, previously unknown to Science and Medicine.
Rivers support billions of people but are among the least protected parts of nature. A major review shows what needs to be done as climate change accelerates.
A new paper provides the first statistically derived estimate of bee species richness around the world. But this is about more than bees.
Over a three-decade experiment in the Rocky Mountains, fungi and plant life fundamentally changed. The result has consequences for cattle and wildlife.
If de-extinction tech can bring back species, are people more comfortable with them going extinct? A new study tests this idea.
Recent advances in computer vision and other types of artificial intelligence offer an opportunity for facial recognition to apply to bears and other animals.
Wolves and coyotes feed on similar things – but their diets aren’t identical. A researcher studied predator diets to investigate their differences.
A warming climate and a winter-visitor bird are giving mistletoe a helping hand.
