A team of international researchers led by Federico Baltar of the University of Vienna and José M González of the University of La Laguna has identified a previously unknown group of bacteria, called UBA868, as key players in the energy cycle of the deep ocean. 

Scientists believe little more than 10% of the species that live in our seas have been found and that around two million remain undiscovered.

Researchers have figured out a way to predict bacteria’s environmental pH preferences from a quick look at their genomes, using machine learning.

More than 3 million square kilometers of the Asian elephant’s historic habitat range has been lost in just three centuries, a new report from an international scientific team led by a University of California San Diego researcher reveals. 

Wildfires. Many see them as purely destructive forces, disasters that blaze through a landscape, charring everything in their paths. 

Life in the ocean’s “twilight zone” could decline dramatically due to climate change, new research suggests.

Keeping tree diversity intact in Canada’s many forests over the long term can help increase carbon capture and mitigate climate change, according to a new University of Alberta study.

Climate, biodiversity, and societal challenges are intrinsically linked and yet are usually viewed in isolation.
