A broad review of shark research shows that sharks play critical roles in keeping ocean ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrass beds healthy.
Efforts by First Nations groups to thin dense forest regrowth have come under fire in Victoria. The solution isn’t to restore “wilderness” – it’s to manage Country.
From the Arctic to the Himalayas, New Zealand and even Mexico, glaciers worldwide are retreating. But what happens when the ice is gone?
The fight against Eurasian watermilfoil, an invasive aquatic plant in North American lakes, can be long and expensive, so must be carefully planned.
Scientists analysed thousands of years of pollen data and made a surprising discovery.
An endangered rodent and a thorny, impenetrable weed doesn’t sound like a good match. But stick-nest rats have made homes out of African boxthorn
Reconstructing the demise of New Zealand’s extinct moa can help conserve the country’s remaining flightless birds, which are retreating to the same final places - cold, isolated mountaintops.
The lethal strain of highly pathogenic bird flu is everywhere – except Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Here’s how we’re planning for its arrival
With the help of citizen scientists, South African entomologists can work to keep invasive wasp populations from spreading.
City life can mean lots of pavement and habitat loss. But many bug species are hanging on, especially in neighborhoods with steady temperatures near the mountains.
Koalas in trouble, land clearing at speed – nature in New South Wales is not well. Now the government is proposing significant changes to its ineffective biodiversity laws.
The number of non-native species in Europe will grow by as much as 64% by 2050.
Invasive alien species become much harder and more expensive to manage as they establish and spread through the landscape. So preventing their arrival is vital.
Australia’s ancient Wet Tropics are enormously rich in species. But these tight-knit ecosystems might be at risk from cascading extinctions
Conflicts between herders and the wild ancestors of their yaks, camels and reindeer are a serious threat to both people and wildlife, writes a scientist who has seen these clashes firsthand.
Appearances can be deceptive but genomes not so much – this has huge implications for measuring biodiversity.
In a world dominated by fast fashion, building a slower wardrobe is the key to living more sustainably, saving money and standing out among the crowd.
Coral reefs share genetic material across wide areas, with help from ocean currents. This ability is especially important during episodes like the mass bleaching currently occurring.
Freshwater biodiversity receives less conservation attention, especially in Nigeria.
