The feet of a bird tell us a lot about its life. Newly described, the fossil feet of the ancestors of modern birds reveal how superbly adapted they were to their world.
At the beginning there was an unknown noise… Decades later, we discovered a new species of owl.
Changing habitat ranges, competition for food and water, and biological effects of climate change all pose threats to wildlife.
Birds species vary greatly in the way they handle heat – an important finding for predicting vulnerability to global warming.
An understanding of bird biology is the starting point for conservation efforts. 3-D reconstructions of biological structures greatly add to this understanding.
The findings underscore the urgent need to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and help animals find cool places to shelter.
A new book explores how birds have adapted to our cities - from nesting in skyscrapers to snatching food - reflecting on the beauty and wildness they bring to urban landscapes.
Our study found it wasn’t cafes with access to sugar-rich food that led to more miner aggression. In fact, gardens were where we recorded the highest amount of aggressive behaviour.
Satellite telemetry, tiny geolocation tags and passive acoustic recording are providing new insights into bird migration and vital data for conservation.
Monitoring bird population trends in Nigeria is a valuable activity – but it requires trained people and commitment over the long term.
I watched little ravens line their nests with messmate stringy bark last spring. Here’s what birds might seek your garden trees this year.
Gulls have a reputation for being the bad boys of the seaside.
Pigeons simply don’t deserve the bad press they get.
While artificially illuminating the night allows humans to make use of the the night, in doing so we catastrophically change the environment for all other species. How can we fix this?
The identification of a vulture that lived more than 50,000 years ago is shedding more light on biodiversity loss and ecosystem change in Australia.
If you’re hot, so are your four-legged neighbours.
Trees were already known for cooling and cleaning the air of cities. A Europe-wide, participative science project shows how much their density matters for urban biodiversity.
Many people can’t get by without the buzz from their daily coffee habit.
The common eider nests in colonies on islands of the St. Lawrence estuary. The down that the female duck takes to fill her nest has exceptional insulating properties.
