Landscape Stewardship Collective provides research and practical guidance for native plant restoration, seed sourcing, species conservation, and land stewardship.

The unusual-looking bobolink is what's called a bilateral gynandromorph. The bird behaved like a male, eventually wooing a mate and raising fledglings

Experts scour the Sacramento Mountains for the endangered checkerspot butterfly, last seen in the wild in 2022. Is it gone forever?

If you ever visit Mt St Helens in Washington, I’ve got a game you can play. Each interpretive sign that you come across is a new round. You drink win the round if the sign mentions May 18, 1980. It…

Abstract. Many species of Colias butterflies show a female-limited colour polymorphism where the dominant Alba allele leads to white wings, faster developm

Abstract. Investigations into the genetic basis of color polymorphism have played a key role in our understanding of genetic architecture and the evolution

Amid the destruction of war, Ukrainian conservationists remain determined to help a European bison herd persevere.

Hybridization, or interbreeding between two previously diverged populations, is increasing due to human influences on the environment. Rates of hybridization might be increasing particularly quickly a...

Caribou, listed as a species at risk across Canada, have experienced a wide range of evolutionary and selective pressures at multiple scales, from large-scale range shifts and recolonisations driven b...

Synonymous mutations, once deemed neutral, have been shown to influence gene expression and organismal fitness by affecting transcription, mRNA processing, translation and protein folding. In this Per...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, de...

Nature - Single-celled species that often stick together in colonies have researchers rethinking the origin of animals.

The biodiversity–disease relationship posits two hypotheses: the dilution effect (where there's a negative relationship between biodiversity and disease risk) and the amplification effect (where ther...
