The wild rock dove is little understood and largely overlooked by scientists.
Recent advances in computer vision and other types of artificial intelligence offer an opportunity for facial recognition to apply to bears and other animals.
Insects have a range of fascinating ways to keep cool. We can help them too.
New research shows how identity-driven assumptions can turn common ground into conflict.
Animals feature in sports club logos and become mascots, but their actual populations are declining. What if we turned this sporting attachment into concrete action?
Protecting places that are likely to remain cool and moist as global temperatures rise can save wildlife of all kinds, but first we have to find them.
A small parasite is taking advantage of global warming to wreak havoc: the winter tick is decimating young moose.
Conflict between baboons and humans won’t change unless human behaviour changes.
Across Britain, ponds are quietly vanishing. Reviving them is one of the simplest ways to boost biodiversity and climate resilience.
In Borneo’s remote villages, locals earn money by recording wildlife — reshaping conservation and redefining how communities value their forests.
The evolutionary history of human penises is more romantic than you might think.
The people who manage America’s aquifers, wetlands, shorelines and recreation areas rely on federal science as they face new and rising risks in a changing climate.
