Permafrost Pandora’s Box: Unleashing “Time-Traveling” Pathogens From the Icy Past
Computer simulation shows the release of only 1% of dormant pathogens could cause major environmental damage and the widespread loss of host organisms around the…

Scientists discover gene flow from an extinct gorilla population to eastern gorillas. An international research study, recently published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution,…
Basking sharks, known for their gentle, plankton-feeding behavior, have been unexpectedly identified as regional endotherms, maintaining a higher body temperature than the water they inhabit,…
Scientists are studying ‘super corals’ as a potential solution to climate change effects on coral reefs. Despite demonstrating resilience, ‘super corals’ also show reduced genetic…
The most accurate estimate yet has been provided by artificial intelligence and computer vision. Each year, a small forest in Zambia transforms into the site…
Faysal Bibi from the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, and Juan L. Cantalapiedra from the University of Alcalá in Madrid, leveraged thousands of fossil teeth…
As individuals increasingly migrate from the countryside to urban areas in search of improved economic opportunities, or when farming ceases to be profitable, the lands…
Modeling Healthier Habitats on Managed Lands Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers developed a model framework that identifies ways to ensure wildlife can safely navigate their…
New research finds that the massive Joro spiders are gentle giants and mean people no harm. Contrary to their daunting looks, the massive yellow and…
Global warming is leading to the increased spread of deadly coral disease, which, according to new research, is predicted to become endemic to reefs worldwide…
A nemertean worm, Carcinonemertes conanobrieni, discovered by a Clemson University biologist, is suspected to negatively impact the reproduction of Caribbean spiny lobsters, thereby contributing to…
While it’s well-established that environmental factors shape the evolution of species, a recent study illustrates a reciprocal relationship where the evolutionary adaptations of species, in…
Scientists from the University of Tübingen and the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment examine human-raven relationships. Long before the establishment of the first…
New research findings could explain biodiversity hotspots in tectonically quiet regions. If we could rewind the tape of species evolution around the world and play…
New research from the University of Sheffield indicates that nocturnal pollinators like moths, could visit as many plants as bees, and also deserve considerable conservation…
Monarch butterflies with larger white spots fly more efficiently, making long trips easier. A new study examined nearly 400 wild monarch wings and discovered that…
A new study reveals that rising global temperatures could convert widespread microbial communities worldwide from carbon sinks to carbon emitters, potentially triggering climate change tipping…
Giraffe populations separated by Great Rift Valley in eastern Africa are genetically distinct, suggesting that conservation efforts should be considered separately for each population. Giraffes…
