If bats’ way of living falters, entire food webs could feel the effects.
New research shows how Western science can support cultural burning to deliver benefits across cultures – as well as for nature.
A new archaeological study finds early evidence of white-tailed deer declines in the 17th century, likely driven by the commodification of deerskins under colonial capitalism.
Scientists have tracked microplastics in small creatures in the UK.
Park and forest managers can’t rely on the past any longer to understand future risks. Fires, pests and climate change are changing the game.
Studying the information contained in dolphin whistles is crucial for our understanding of threats to their survival.
Two ecologists explain why a misleading map is worse than no map at all, and how they have worked for years to track the emergences of 13-year and 17-year cicadas.
Cats aren’t the only bird hazard around your home. More than 1 billion birds die each year from hitting windows, often during migration.
Palynologists who study tiny pollen fossils share 4 stories found in grains that fell hundreds to millions of years ago.
Children who grow up on farms are less likely to develop asthma or allergies as adults. The reason? Micro-organisms in the air.
The Grassland Society of Southern Africa has been conducting scientific research for 60 years, adapting to new challenges.
