Flame retardants are added to consumer products — and end up in the environment and harming aquatic wildlife.
Artificial light is upending trees’ ability to use the natural day-night cycle as a signal of seasonal change.
Once hated, native predators are now credited with limiting invasive prey populations.
The ocean is often considered a silent universe. But many recent studies highlight the importance of the soundscape for many marine species, both large and small.
As a major conference on the global biodiversity crisis opens in Montreal, a conservation biologist explains how ideas about protecting nature have evolved over the past 40 years.
Plus, why you should always remove grass cuttings from your lawn.
Thoreau thought commerce destroyed moral freedom. A true “economy”, he argued, would lead to ecological and social flourishing for humans and for all beings.
Fungi underpin life on Earth, but are far less well catalogued and understood than animals and plants. Three scientists call for including fungi in conservation strategies and environmental laws.
With nine brains, blue blood and a talent for camouflage, the octopus is one of the most fascinating creatures in the sea.
Climate change is modifying the timing of recurrent life-cycle events with critical consequences on ecological and economic levels.
New research has found what may be language in electrical impulses transmitted between mushrooms.
Whale species at higher risk of predation from killer whales are more adversely affected by the sound of sonar.
Sea turtles of Aldabra were almost hunted to extinction. But thanks to years of protection the much-loved animals are now thriving again - and so is the iconic giant tortoise.
‘De-extinction’ seems like a way to save dying or dead species - but in reality it’s an expensive and impractical waste of time.

It’s usually good news when a once-scarce species starts to recover – unless it starts getting in humans’ way. An ecologist explains how science can help predict unwelcome encounters.
