Imagine your favorite beach filled with thousands of ducks and gulls.

An IMAS-led study of seabirds that had ingested plastic debris has revealed a range of non-lethal impacts on their health and physiology.

Researchers in the Integrative Wildlife Conservation Lab, led by Dr. Dennis Murray from the Department of Biology, recently secured $149,694 from the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) Research Tools and Instruments (RTI) grants program.

One of the last remaining megaherbivores, forest elephants shape their environment by serving as seed dispersers and forest bulldozers as they eat over a hundred species of fruit, trample bushes, knock over trees and create trails and clearings.

The fact that millions of North American monarch butterflies fly thousands of miles each fall and somehow manage to find the same overwintering sites in central Mexican forests and along the California coast, year after year, is pretty mind-blowing.

They look like smears of pink bubblegum on the rocks off British Columbia’s coast, indistinguishable from one another.

A total of 55 animal species in the UK have been displaced from their natural ranges or enabled to arrive for the first time on UK shores because of climate change over the last 10 years (2008-2018) – as revealed in a new study published today (18 July 2019) by ZSL scientists.

When researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) trapped a young female Arctic fox near her den in Krossfjorden, Svalbard, on July 29, 2017, they were hoping she could offer a bit of insight into the spatial ecology of Arctic foxes.

Little is known about how seabirds catch their food outside the breeding season but using modern technology, researchers at the University of Liverpool and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology have gained new insight into their feeding habits.

More “intensive” beekeeping does not raise the risk of diseases that harm or kill the insects, new research suggests.
