Researchers investigate the combined effect of drought and fire on stream communities, highlighting the importance of headwaters

At first glance, Antarctica seems inhospitable. Known for howling gales and extremely cold temperatures, the continent is blanketed with a mile-thick ice shelf. 

A team of international researchers from Canada, Colombia, and Germany has discovered a new marine reptile.

From 50,000 years to 6,000 years ago, many of the world’s largest animals, including such iconic grassland grazers as the woolly mammoth, giant bison, and ancient horses, went extinct.

Serving up too much soft food to animals rescued into captivity might reduce their survival chances when released back into the wild.

Coastal marshes that have been invaded by feral hogs recover from disturbances up to three times slower than non-invaded marshes and are far less resilient to sea-level rise, extreme drought and other impacts of climate change, a new study led by scientists at Duke University and the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB) finds.

Global change is eroding life on earth at an unprecedented rate and scale. 

Training AI to detect and identify marine mammal calls from underwater acoustic recordings opens new possibilities for more cost-effective marine mammal research.

Study of a perky little bird suggests there may be far more avian species in the tropics than those identified so far.

Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence (AI) models to recognise behaviours of chimpanzees in the wild.
