The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

Can the knowledge and experience of recreational anglers in Iceland help us understand how far the invasive flounder has spread in the country?

Scientific research often presents itself as a search for truth—rigorous, objective, and driven by data. But what if the same dataset, analyzed by different researchers, leads to different conclusi…

Marine reserves generate more than half of coral groupers produced on the GBR and half of the fish caught by the fishery.
