Using a new mechanistic model of evolution on Earth, researchers at ETH Zurich can now better explain why the rainforests of Africa are home to fewer species than the tropical forests of South America and Southeast Asia.

A national plan to restore habitat on marginal farming land would fight climate change, prevent species loss and put money in farmers’ pockets, according to a team of University of Queensland-led scientists.

New Research from Oxford University has revealed that shifts in the timing of egg laying by great tits in response to climate change vary markedly between breeding sites within the same woodland and that this variation is linked to the health of nearby oak trees.

Highly positive social outcomes are linked to biodiversity efforts in Amazonian Sustainable-Use Protected Areas, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

Agroecologist from the University of Göttingen emphasises their importance for food security of smallholder farmers

This landmark finding explains the long-standing mystery of why co-operation among birds is associated with unpredictable environments worldwide.

Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse, complex and productive ecosystems on the planet. Most of coral reef biodiversity consists of tiny organisms living deep within the three-dimensional reef matrix.

The cold polar oceans give rise to some of the largest food webs on Earth.

Low oxygen levels are pushing fish into shallower waters, with potentially devastating impacts for fisheries and ecosystems.

As climate change affects habitats, fisheries species face change, too.
