Each fall, millions of monarch butterflies fly across Texas skies on their 3,000-mile journey to the mountains of central Mexico. The state’s position in the center of the migratory route makes it critical to the […]

Florida’s beaches—particularly those in Palm Beach County—are among the world’s most vital nesting grounds for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), accounting for 90% of all loggerhead nests in the Southeastern United States. Where a sea […]

In a significant step toward dealing with the persistent harmful algal bloom affecting the South Australian coast, researchers have identified the species chiefly responsible for mass deaths of marine animals and potential human health impacts […]

A fungal infection solution could help eliminate up to 86% of malaria-carrying mosquitoes, offering a powerful new tool in the global fight against the disease, according to new research.This article was originally published on this […]

Efforts to join up isolated plant and animal habitats across the world should also protect against unintentionally harming them, new research shows.This article was originally published on this website.

An invasive grass found on almost every continent and considered a pest in 73 countries isn’t just weeding out native plants, it is creating a haven for disease-carrying ticks and raising public health risk concerns.This […]

Climate change is extending the growing season in European forests, but this effect will not be sufficient to offset the negative impacts of increasing drought stress. An international research team led by Jan Tumajer from […]

Climate change is driving drastic environmental shifts and accelerating global biodiversity loss. Hybrid introgression has recently emerged as a key mechanism enabling rapid adaptation to historical climate change. Yet empirical evidence remains scarce on whether […]

Many species benefit from the habitats that beavers create by building dams—and not just aquatic life. A new study by the WSL and Eawag research institutes published in the Journal of Animal Ecology shows that […]

University of Wollongong (UOW) researchers are part of a study that used modern thermal drone technology to uncover thriving yet previously under-reported populations of endangered koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) and southern greater gliders (Petauroides volans) across […]
