Dynamic ocean management, which adapts protected areas to current bycatch data, has been found to reduce unintended catch in fisheries by up to 57%, outperforming…
An international research team has highlighted the critical impacts of synthetic chemicals and plastics on Earth’s stability, pointing out that these pollutants exceed sustainable planetary…
Research indicates that Tasmanian devils, contrary to common scavenger behavior, choose specific foods rather than eating generally available resources. This specialization may be due to…
I know what you did last summer: chemical clues in the marsupial’s whiskers can reveal what they ate months – and even seasons – ago….
Recent findings indicate that deforestation in African coastal cities has led to a doubling of thunderstorms in the last 30 years, intensifying the consequences of…
Using a mathematical model, two scientists were able to determine that in predator-prey dynamics, both sides adapt quickly through evolution. The research highlights that both…
Hunter-gatherers caused ecosystems to change 125,000 years ago. These are the findings of an interdisciplinary study by archaeologists from Leiden University in collaboration with other…
New research shows that the effects of wolves on the recovery of aspen has been exaggerated by how it was measured. It’s an environmental success…
Interim goals for 2025 and an integrated ocean debris observing system exemplify demands of experts’ “Clean Ocean Manifesto” Reducing marine debris by 50-90% and a…
A new international study carried out by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) has examined the distribution…
New research shows that humans had a significant role in the extinction of woolly mammoths in Eurasia, occurring thousands of years later than previously thought….
Since its first recorded sighting by European explorers in the 1600s, scientists and historians have believed that Europeans were the first people to ever set…
Rice biologists’ discovery can be used to help climate-challenged reefs survive for now. A little more sexy time for symbionts could help coral reefs survive…
Research on whale feeding highlights how the precipitous decline of large marine mammals has negatively impacted the health and productivity of ocean ecosystems. From 1910…
Statistical modeling highlights predictive importance of local climate and human activity. Researchers have uncovered new insights into the dynamics that underlie the probabilities of wildfire…
Recovery of baleen whales to pre-whaling levels could restore lost ocean function and may help curb climate change. New research co-authored by Nicholas Pyenson, curator of…
Plankton eaters play key role in transferring offshore resources to coral reef ecosystems. A new analysis suggests that the movement of plankton and plankton-eating fish…
