The first official Red List for British Mammals, led by a University of Sussex professor, shows that 11 of the 47 mammals native to Britain are classified as being at imminent risk of extinction.

New international research breaks ground for the next generation of biodiversity forcasts.

The study examined over 6,200 species from eight taxonomic groups, including insects, birds, and flowering plants.

In three years, the alga had grown into abundant mats of over 100,000 square feet each at Pearl and Hermes Atoll, outcompeting the species typically living in these ecosystems.

Understanding predator hunting behavior and strategies is key to protecting vulnerable native species.

The new study looks at how three factors have affected Lake Michigan's vulnerability to bighead and silver carp.

Several species of fish have adapted to harsh environments using the same mechanism, which brings to question evolutionary chance, according to a study by Kansas State University and Washington State University.

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have revealed the evolutionary history of the crown-of-thorns starfish – a predator of coral that can devastate coral reefs.

University of Wisconsin–Madison scientists have found that a constantly fluctuating environment can enable some species to invade new areas by helping them maintain the genetic diversity they need to settle into their new homes.

River water, lake water, and seawater contain DNA belonging to organisms such as animals and plants.
