A recent study shows that bats require diverse rock habitats for overwintering. New insights into inter-species differences in overwintering, and the importance of overwintering sites at various stages of hibernation, support bat conservation.This article was […]
University of Stirling research is reshaping how woodlands are created across the UK. A new study, led by Dr. Elisa Fuentes-Montemayor, a Senior Lecturer in Nature-based Solutions at the University’s Faculty of Natural Sciences, has […]
Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, algorithms have been inspired by honeybees’ flight patterns when searching […]
A new study shows for the first time that biological invasions don’t change ecosystems in a single, uniform way. Some impacts, most notably losses of native plant diversity caused by invasive plant species, are persistent […]
A new international analysis warns that penguin survival hinges on a shift in how science and conservation policy approach climate change: Rather than examining extreme events in isolation, it is their cumulative effects that must […]
A unique long-term study, in which biological samples were collected from the same population of blue tits over a 30-year period, shows that rising spring temperatures have doubled the incidence of avian malaria in southern […]
Evolutionary biologists have long believed that the human-biting mosquito, Culex pipiens form molestus, evolved from the bird-biting form, Culex pipiens form pipiens, in subways and cellars in northern Europe over the past 200 years. It’s […]
McGill researchers who examined the writing skills of teenagers in Montreal found that the performance in French of English–French bilinguals was similar to that of near-monolingual francophones. Bilinguals were defined as teens raised in anglophone […]
When it rains, streams rise. When it stops, they fall.This article was originally published on this website.
On Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, gray wolves are doing something unexpected: hunting sea otters. This surprising dietary shift appears to have notable implications for both ecosystems and wolf health, but little is known about […]
