Botany professor Ansgar Kahmen has been studying Switzerland’s forests for years. 

Nearly 30 years ago, a simple question sent University of Washington researchers into the Puget Sound lowlands to look for birds. 

Wildfire risk is no longer confined to the places people expect. 

Satellite-derived maps of defoliation caused by European spongy moths – a devastating U.S. forest pest that consumes the leaves of a wide variety of trees – offer a promising solution for tracking where and when to spray and for identifying large scale trends and conditions that lead to pest outbreaks, according to a new study.

Since the first major bleaching event in 1996, Hawaiian corals have been subject to increasing heat stress and more prevalent bleaching events.

A field experiment on wild kittiwakes in Alaska reveals how short-term energy demands ripple across the year, with consequences for future reproduction and survival.

When University of Rhode Island researchers slipped beneath the surface of the Moosup River recently, they did not expect to find a living freshwater mussel community.

New research involving Queen Mary University of London reveals that amphibians can change what they eat to cope with rising temperatures, but that this natural survival strategy has limits.

University of Michigan researchers have used an AI tool to demonstrate that birds in the group Passeriformes evolved in rapid evolutionary bursts and that these bursts frequently coincided with climate shifts throughout Earth’s history.

Research by Oregon State University biologists suggests that toxic air stemming from wildfires won’t necessarily prompt animals to flee in search of better breathing conditions.
