Footprints, droppings, diggings and other signs left behind by animals reveal a lot to a skilled observer. Indigenous knowledge feeds into one of Australia’s largest wildlife monitoring endeavours.
Research finds that extensive feeding by invasive insects can cause trees to produce defense compounds, to the detriment of valued native insects.
It’s not easy to tell when a dynamic system, filled with life, might reach a point of no return.
Pig-sized hippos and elephants the size of horses once roamed the lush forests of Cyprus – until humans arrived.
Decades-long environmental studies can reveal trends caused by climate change better than projects that last only a year or two.
The hydropower dam is part of a huge effort to boost India’s homegrown energy. But it will radically disrupt the lives and livelihoods of indigenous communities in the flood plains downstream.
Wherever humans set foot, they bring with them invasive exotic species. Some animals and plants that are particularly useful to humans are now found all around the globe.
Passionate about sharing his scientific findings, Humboldt paid for his expeditions, books and lectures out of his own pocket.
Canadians are no strangers to cold winters, when everything in nature appears to be frozen solid. However, under the ice cover of lakes, many animals remain active during the winter.
Whether they’re going to cook a fish, have it mounted or just take a photo and then release it, anglers want more than a severed head. But with shark numbers rebounding, they’ve got competition.
Humans aren’t the only species to consider when constructing new buildings. This course teaches students to take animals into account as well.
A broad review of shark research shows that sharks play critical roles in keeping ocean ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass beds healthy.
An unplanned experiment when wildfire smoke rolled through Colorado shows how trees keep some of the smoke out.
In some of the most remote places on Earth, tags attached to seals collect data at the cutting edge of ocean science.
A new algorithm could reduce the amount of time it takes for ecologists to find bat roosts.
New research documents how drones were used to track the temperatures of the Bay Islands anole lizard on the Honduran island of Utila.
Researchers say eel tiles offer conservationists a new fish passage solution that could slow down the population decrease of the European eel.
Our research suggests environmental DNA analysis could transform traditional ways of monitoring freshwater ecosystems.
The story of a cutting edge science project, in which solar-powered trackers map the movements of creatures, brims with charming anecdotes, serial frustrations and ‘blue sky’ plans.
