New research shows that baobab tree flowers have adapted to meet the needs of either bats or moths, and without these creatures, the trees will not survive.
A study reveals that national parks and reserves often support more wildlife but not necessarily the ecological balance that sustains them.
Current laws that deem species safe from extinction ignore their ecological role, geographic range and genetic diversity, as well as their relationships with people.
By studying antelope fossils, researchers can revisit long-standing questions about how the Cradle of Humankind’s environment evolved through time.
Maple forests aren’t spreading north as quickly as predicted.
From snails to skunks, squirrels to cicadas, most of our neighbors are quiet and seldom interact with us, but they play important roles in the world.
Birds can seem amazingly social as they fly and roost together. But why do they really hang out? Let’s take a closer look at the social lives of birds.
When a corpse flower bloomed on campus, atmospheric scientists got to work. What they discovered provides new evidence about the unique pollination strategies of a very unusual flower.
A new tool aims to help scientists decode what underwater river sounds really mean.
Seasonality sets the rhythms of life – and can have surprising consequences for ecology and evolution
New research overturns decades of assumptions about how – and where – our lineage began.
Uniquely colored flowers with big blooms might make for an aesthetically pleasing garden, but they can be unhelpful to pollinators. Careful consideration can help you plan a colorful and eco-friendly garden.
Research on Tasmania’s large old trees has given designers good reason to reflect on the many things about trees that humans don’t value enough. Here’s the top five.
Flanked by stone colonnades, wooden roof beams, and situated, in true Venetian style, on a bed of water – the Gaggiandre is a sound artist’s dream.
There’s a need for more surveys of macroinvertebrates in African countries.
My research findings were clear: mental wellness in the face of ecological distress was anchored not in thoughts, but in action
Surf overtourism has led to conflicts over how beaches are used and concerns over social and environmental harms. But there are ways to address these issues.
Democratic governors and President Donald Trump agree to fight an invasion of non-native fish that has spread up the Mississippi River and threatens the Great Lakes.
