The idea that ecosystems carry plenty of back-up, so if a small number of species become extinct there is little harm, has been greatly overestimated according to the largest global study of its kind.

Prevention measures, including vector control, vaccine deployment and cutting greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming are critical to counter the growing burden of mosquito-borne diseases in a changing climate, according to a new paper by Monash University researchers.

A new study finds that coastal forest loss in North Carolina’s Albermarle-Pamlico Peninsula began accelerating after 2010 and may still be speeding up.  

Researchers from the University of Osaka use artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to detect amino acid biosignatures.

URochester researchers use mathematical modeling to explore how wave-like soil patterns form—and what they could reveal about landscape stability.

A team from the University of Lausanne has developed a new approach to better understand the carbon cycle in the Congo’s peatlands, one of our planet’s lungs. 

Scientists used machine-learning and super-resolution microscopy to overcome a challenge that has stymied research into the natural history of grasses for decades. 

A steady “snowfall” of tiny particles carries carbon, nutrients and pollution from the ocean’s surface toward the deep sea. 

Ancient ice trapped within an ice cap in Northwestern Tibet appears to preserve fragments from the last ice age, extending Earth’s glacial record by over 100,000 years and making them the oldest ice cores ever recovered from the region, according to a new study.

Glaciers are melting faster than ever before in Switzerland. New measurement data shows that Swiss glaciers lost more than 5 per cent of their volume in 2026, following a winter with little snow and record-breaking summer heatwaves.
