A robust technique using the wonders of digital media has helped researchers understand how threatened species like frogs are faring on our globally changing planet.
Noise pollution, whether on land or under water, can affect animals in interesting – and not always positive – ways.
Rapid changes in technology are transforming the contributions ordinary citizens can make to scientific research.
The ominous howl of the wolf has long been a source of fear and fascination for mankind. But new research shows they are not so different from people – for every wolf has its own distinct voice. By recording…
