A study offers evidence that marine biology’s biggest stage is broken, and suggests ways to fix it.
Seeing an animal in distress after disaster makes us want to help. But feeding them doesn’t always make the situation better.
Conservation that places less emphasis on who may or may not use a piece of land could result in better outcomes for people and wildlife.
Our new, world-first research provides strong evidence of a significant increase in reef manta rays in protected areas of Raja Ampat over a decade.
Inbreeding usually leads to an accumulation of genetic defects, but evolution on a small archipelago may have helped the severely inbred Chatham Island black robin to avoid this fate.
New research shows rewilding with invertebrates – insects, worms, spiders and the like – can go a long way in bringing our degraded landscapes back to life.
It’s important that citizen science projects engage volunteers from across society, including young people. A new Australian initiative is doing just that.
Japan was one of the world’s largest ivory markets – research explains why the country is no longer a key destination for the product.
