A new award has been created in honor of late conservation icon Jane Goodall by the board of the Starmus Festival, an international gathering of scientists and artists to be held from Oct. 17-22 in Te...

From humpbacks learning the latest songs to sperm whales’ ‘clan codas’, drones and AI learning are helping reveal another dimension to the concept of culture

Not every bee that visits a flower pollinates it. Discover how researchers are using machine learning and the sounds bees make to identify their ecological roles, opening new possibilities for moni…

We are starting to see the study of animal communication shift from narrowly defined, species-specific, and hypothesis-limited analyses toward data-driven discovery at scale.  We refer to this conv…

Explore how machine learning enhances our understanding of pollination by classifying bees based on ecological functions, not just species.

We have changed from wanting animals to understand human language to wanting to understand how they communicate with each other

Will Marshall, CEO of Planet Labs, argues that planetary intelligence is the key to aligning AI with the best interests of humans.

The Growing Challenge of Biodiversity Data Citizen science projects are generating more data than ever before. Global biodiversity databases now contain millions of species observations, creating a…
