Community scientists in Pennsylvania have reported multiple new species of bees never before found in the commonwealth through a monitoring program led by Penn State.

Colorado State University is leading a new interdisciplinary research project into the ways predators and prey in sensitive ecosystems may react to climate change based on their physiology, genetics and relationships to each other.  

Scientists knew that red-backed salamanders were abundant in eastern North America, but a recent study found their densities and biomass across the region were much higher than expected.

Organic farming and flower strips promote the health of honey bees, with colonies growing stronger and generally being healthier when living in their vicinity.

Community involvement in managing deer populations could deliver a cascade of benefits for biodiversity, climate change, food sustainability and rural livelihoods.
