The research team used models of future climate, an analysis of the climatic tolerances of the species in its current range, and the fossil record to project…
The study—conducted between 2003 and 2005 in a region of the Pantanal undergoing increasing land-use change and habitat fragmentation —has shed light on the…
The information is contained in the resin found within trees and on their bark. Resin is produced in large quantities by a tree when it's under attack by…
Researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society have developed a “stress test” for coral reefs as a means of identifying and prioritizing areas that are…
Factors determining the distribution of hazardous material include: • Altitude to which radioactive or toxic materials are lofted • Day-to-day variability in…
Marine biologists have solved a conundrum that has stumped them for years – how to count reef fish. It may sound simple, but the task is actually complex and…
The entire population of these birds – less than 125 – lives on one tiny island in the south Pacific, and without serious intervention, they will no longer…

Intensively managed, grazed pastures are responsible for an increase in nitrous oxide emissions from grazing animals’ excrement. Biochar is potentially a…
In one the first studies of its kind, ecologists in Indianapolis, USA have used 70 year-old dried plant specimens to track the impact of increasing…
The finding represents a range extension for the Andean cat, which normally occurs at altitudes above 3,000 meters (approximately 9,800 feet). The new survey…
Perlite, a processed volcanic mineral, is widely used as a component of soilless growing mixes. Lightweight, sterile, and easy to use, perlite is popular with…
These and other data on the protection of species in zoos and aquaria have now been revealed by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research…
In 2008, this conflict rose to the level of the US Supreme Court which had to balance potential threat to whales from sonar against the military risk posed by…
The researchers put their innovation—thin squares of plastic saturated with vapors of a common solvent—through the paces at four testing laboratories. The…
According to classical ecology, when two species compete for the same resource, eventually the more successful species will win out while the other will go…
