New research shows European lobsters are using the deposits of rocks and boulders at the base of wind turbines as shelter.
There’s no single reason many Asian animals spread to Australia but few went the other way – but climate, geography and the slow drift of tectonic plates all played a role.
The immortal jellyfish ‘Turritopsis dohrnii’ is capable of escaping death. The molecular keys involved in its longevity have been revealed by researchers at the University of Oviedo.
Birds are master navigators, negotiating journeys of thousands miles each year.
We compared 4,500 species of songbird to finally confirm what Darwin suspected.
Horses are the supreme athletes of the large mammal world – here’s a look at the reasons why they can run so fast and jump so high.
