Roughly half of all global seafood is caught by artisanal fishers — individuals who operate on small, often subsistence scales, and who generally fish a short distance from the coast. 

Research published this week in Science offers the clearest picture yet of the reverberating consequences of land mammal declines on food webs over the past 130,000 years.

A study has found that pheasants killed by lead shot contain many fragments of lead too small to detect by eye or touch, and too distant from the shot to be removed without throwing away a large proportion of otherwise useable meat.

Earth’s geological history is characterized by many dynamic climate shifts that are often associated with large changes in temperature. 

Aug. 20 is National Honey Bee Day. Here's how Texas A&M's Honey Bee Research Program is working to better understand this "keystone species."

Studying climate change-induced mass extinctions in the deep geological past allows researchers to explore the impact of environmental crises on organismal evolution. 

Using sophisticated electronic tags, scientists have assembled a large biologging dataset to garner comparative insights on how sharks, rays, and skates – also known as “elasmobranchs” – use the ocean depths. 

New research sheds light on how climate change will impact the distribution of great whales in New Zealand waters.

New stock assessment reflects second highest biomass since assessments started.
