The first standardized density estimates across the Amazon's protected areas, and what they tell us about the status of the species.

Un estudi liderat per la Universitat de València, en col·laboració amb científics de la Universitat de Princeton, mostra que els epibionts —xicotets organismes que viuen sobre la pell dels dofins— poden ajudar a detectar canvis en les poblacions...

The most abundant birds are disappearing the fastest. Saving them requires bold, landscape-scale action.

Accurately attributing ecological shifts to climate change remains a significant challenge. Here, we present an accessible causal inference framework designed for climate change attribution in observ...

Climate change poses a growing threat to biodiversity, but disentangling its overall impact from other anthropogenic stressors is challenging. Here the authors use a data-driven climate attribution fr...

Declines in North American birds are driven not by rare species vanishing but by sharp losses among formerly common species.

Declines in North American birds are driven not by rare species vanishing but by sharp losses among formerly common species.

Global-scale analyses of marine, terrestrial and freshwater assemblages found that temporal rates of species replacement were faster in locations with faster temperature change, including warming and ...

Climate change threatens Amazon rainforest birds, with harsher dry seasons significantly affecting their survival over 27 years.

America’s best scientific minds are scrambling to determine the impact of the disruption.

Imagine a world where the variety of food sources we rely on is reduced to a mere handful of species. This is not a dystopian future. It’s the path we are on right now, and it’s happening silently in ...

Science, both teaching and doing, is under attack. The recent US presidential election of a person and platform with anti-science bias exemplifies this. The study of climate processes and patterns and...

Long-distance migration, common in passerine birds, is rare and poorly studied in bats. Piloting a 1.2-gram IoT (Internet of Things) tag with onboard processing, we tracked the daily location, tempera...

A top aide to the president-elect wants tighter control over the National Climate Assessment.

‘Classics’ is a category of posts highlighting research that has made a real difference to biodiversity conservation. All posts in this category will be permanently displayed on the Cla…

Nature Ecology & Evolution - A meta-analysis finds that decreasing diversity of pollinator species has a negative affect on multiple measures of plant reproductive success, with wild plant...

“One Health” needs ecology

Subclinical infections in wild swallows reduce foraging ranges, alter habitat use, and decrease survival rates. A study using ultra-high-resolution tracking reveals overlooked impacts of infection on ...

The migratory culling hypothesis posits that infected individuals are less likely to survive long-distance migration due to physiological and behavioral effects, but this lacks empirical evidence. Her...

The long read: Across the globe, vast swathes of land are being left to be reclaimed by nature. To see what could be coming, look to Bulgaria

From 1981 to 2020, low-income regions experienced a faster increase in the frequency of compound drought-heatwaves events than high-income regions, and the increase is attributed to anthropogenic clim...

The Earth is approaching a critical threshold of irreversible biodiversity loss. World leaders, environmental activists, and prominent researchers are gathered in Colombia for the 16th meeting of the ...

Abstract Large-scale temporal and spatial biodiversity patterns have traditionally been explained by multitudinous particular factors and a few theories. However, these theories lack sufficient genera...

A 43-year dataset of rodents in the Hu region of China reveals how urbanization-induced changes to land-use configuration affect rodent community composition, including benefitting striped field mice,...
