Researchers have been estimating the vast numbers of insects, including many pollinators, migrating at one location in the Pyrenees. But climate change and habitat loss could affect their abundance.

Conservation strategies should promote equitable benefits across communities.
Lessons from the Serengeti herds may help conservationists manage migratory herbivore populations.
The Sahara Desert is green and vegetated every 21,000 years. A climate model shows why.
The world’s oceans are getting hotter, quicker. And our marine species are seeking cooler waters. Keep your eyes peeled and you might spot one of these species on the move.
Researchers encourage citizen scientists to contribute to datasets on animal deaths caused by infrastructure. This will inform efforts to reduce the human impact on biodiversity.
Climate change is exposing animals to temperatures outside of their normal limits – a new study has found that insects have a particularly weak ability to adjust.
Protecting green turtles is difficult because they perform some of the longest migrations known in the animal kingdom.
A new report shed light on the migratory routes of 1,000 whales worldwide.
Sardines from the cold waters off South Africa’s Atlantic coast are attracted to cold water upwelling in the Indian Ocean. When the upwelling ends, they are trapped in water that is too warm for them.
As an economic superpower, China has far more left to do to ensure our planet remains liveable for vulnerable wildlife.
We first encountered the letter in 2019, when a reader shared it with us. In it, Einstein discusses bees, birds and whether new physics principles could come from studying animal senses.
Millions of miles of fences crisscross the Earth’s surface. They divide ecosystems and affect wild species in ways that often are harmful, but are virtually unstudied.
The threats of climate change to plants, animals and people in Africa mean that the continent is an excellent place for biometeorological research.
Towns and cities create an orange glow on the horizon at night. It’s so widespread that it even disturbs sea creatures.
Billions of bogong moths are setting out from Queensland, but not reaching Victoria. We need citizen scientists to help figure out where they’re ending up.
