Glaciers are flush with microbial life. But, as climate change speeds glacial melting, scientists rush to establish microbial biobanks to preserve them.

Soils from 30 grasslands across Europe were subjected to 4 contrasting extreme climatic events under drought, flood, freezing and heat conditions, with the results suggesting that soil microbiomes fro...

Architects and microbiologists are exploring whether making buildings hospitable to friendly microorganisms can improve human health.

Scientists in Svalbard in race to study polar microbes as global heating threatens fragile glacial ecosystems

For years, sleuths – whose names our readers are likely familiar with – have been diligently flagging issues with the scientific literature. More than a dozen of these specialists have teamed up to cr...

From the use of bacteria to redefine our life on Earth to the role of microbes in space exploration, this issue looks to the opportunities microbiology provides for all of us.

Most of the world's crops depend on pollinators, so declines in both managed and wild bees raise concerns about food security. However, the degree to which insect pollination is actually limiting current crop production is poorly understood, as is the ...

Four-year funded PhD projects are available in areas that span the food chain from farm to fork. Closing date: 3 February 2024 (10:00 GMT)

Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Democracy can't function without a free press

Two fully funded PhD scholarship are available at Massey University Manawatū New Zealand to study the evolution of freeze-tolerant alpine insects.

In 2024 our experts explored subjects ranging from autocratic governments to green jobs and new ways to help endangered species.
