Michael Varnum explains new research on the role ecological factors play in the differences between cultures. Listen to The Conversation Weekly podcast.
Maths plays a crucial role in new research which finds that bats “leapfrog” their way home at night.
Each year, hungry plant-eating animals do billions of dollars of damage to valuable plants. We need prevention methods that don’t involve killing them.
A survey of Miami-Dade residents found bipartisan support for protecting Biscayne Bay − though most locals were not aware of the extent of its decline in recent years.
Researchers have made a fascinating observation: a polar bear used a diving hunting technique, never before reported, to capture large moulting snow geese.
There are so many fish in the ocean that if you took them out, important habitats and food sources for many creatures would be lost.
A herd of javelinas wrecked a pristine golf course. Is this rewilding in action?
Feral hogs are one of the most destructive invasive species in North America, harming land, crops and wildlife.
Australian freshwater turtles are a vital part of healthy waterways, but we don’t know enough about them. A new roundup of turtle research aims to buck the trend.
News about the growing ecological crisis may cause people to feel grief and fear. It is understandable to seek relief from these feelings and look for good news. But what if grief is the good news?
Rapidly changing temperatures and sensory environments are challenging the nervous systems of many species. Animals will be forced to evolve to survive.
Giraffes are vulnerable to extinction, mainly due to habitat loss and killing for bushmeat markets. The good news is human actions can alleviate that danger.
Only after a species is identified and listed by taxonomists can it be protected. Yet we still don’t have one globally agreed-upon list of every species. A new 74-nation survey points to the solution.
246 scientists looked at the same data sets and drew very different conclusions.
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to many weird and wonderful seahorses and pipefish. But they’re under threat.
Understanding how animals think, learn and interact with one another can inform the science of ecology, as predator and prey shape their world.
As the climate warms, devastating fires are increasingly likely. The 2020 fires pushed the Southern Rockies beyond the historical average. Is there hope for the Northern Rockies?
More than half of the world’s turtle species are endangered or threatened, and overhunting of wild species is a major cause.
It’s time to reconsider our relationship with the dingo. By collaborating and drawing from both Indigenous and Western knowledge, we can find ways to live in harmony with our apex land predator.
