UBC researchers discovered a remarkable adaptation that challenges a long-standing explanation for why insects never colonized the open ocean.

UBC researchers equipped pigeons with small backpacks and heat-mounted cameras to track how they fly and, hopefully, improve how drones fly, too. The Early Edition host Steven Quinn spoke with one of ...

To study how pigeons see while flying, UBC researchers hand-sewed custom falconry-style hoods and miniature backpacks to carry tiny cameras and computers.

Thousands of students cross the stage at UBC this spring, each with a story of resilience, discovery and ambition. Meet six graduates whose journeys reflect the spirit of the class of 2026.

A new study shows evidence of “evolutionary rescue”—a kind of rapid evolution in which organisms genetically adapt to severe conditions—in monkeyflower populations found throughout western North Ameri...

University of B.C. students share out-of-this-world experience of speaking with astronaut and UBC alumna Jessica Meir live from the international space station.

That’s out of 2,642 struggling species tracked in a new wildlife study.

For the first time in the wild, researchers have shown plant populations can evolve quickly enough to rebound from extreme drought. The study, out of UBC and Cornell University, is a rare ray of hope ...

Faced with extreme drought, these flowers adapted. Scientists call it “evolutionary rescue," and say it's a hopeful sign for humanity.

For the first time in the wild, researchers have shown plant populations can evolve quickly enough to rebound from extreme drought.

Billions of mussels scorched and baby birds dropping from sweltering nests: North America’s 2021 heatwave caused a cascade of ecological damage, some of it catastrophic, some unexpected, a new study s...

A sweeping new study of the 2021 heat wave reveals offers crucial insight into how climate extremes reshape ecosystems.

A new UBC study in Animal Behaviour suggests raccoons may not just be opportunistic—they may be genuinely curious.

High-sugar diets cause human metabolic diseases, yet several bird lineages convergently adapted to feeding on sugar-rich nectar or fruits. We investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms in hummin...

This paper provides a platform for the following studies within this Special Issue. ‘Ecophysiology of fishes in the two great tributaries of the Amazon in the Anthropocene’. It documents the water qu...
