The effects of building systems that are out of sync with our environment are becoming all too clear

Beaks have grown longer and larger, and ranges have expanded to follow the feeders

Seeding of grasslands on ex-arable land may not always be required to achieve restoration targets, especially where soils are free-draining and agrochemical applications were not too intensive prior ...

A die-off of seabirds has some experts thinking an El Niño weather pattern is to blame, a look at data centers and pollution, and more climate news.

Exploiting a rare, modest increase in data, we review five recent studies of killing gray wolves to protect domestic animals and produce a cross-study consensus conclusion. From the five field studie....
