The night sky teems with migrating songbirds, aloft in their millions following routes etched in evolutionary time. 

A new study outlines the ways by which city life may be shaping the evolution of urban coyotes, the highly adaptable carnivores spotted in alleyways from Berkeley, Calif., to the Bronx, in New York.

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have discovered that the neonicotinoid pesticide clothianidin disrupts different parts of bumble bee bodies in strikingly different ways.

Bats depend on open bodies of water such as small ponds and lakes for foraging and drinking. 

Birds make sounds to communicate, whether to find a potential mate, ward off predators, or just sing for pleasure.  

Tracking coyote movement in metropolitan areas shows the animals spend lots of time in natural settings, but a new study suggests the human element of city life has a bigger impact than the environment on urban coyote survival.

University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology biologists used drone imagery to understand how nursing humpback whale mothers and their calves fare as they cross the Pacific Ocean. 

On feedlots across the U.S., cows produce methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere.

People around the world are dealing with drought, so it’s not shocking that it affects wildlife, too: lack of moisture contributes to habitat loss, affects how animals compete for resources, and leads to dehydration and heat stress. 

A new study has shown that although the UK has suitable climate and habitat for the yellow-legged hornet, also known as the Asian hornet, effective action has prevented this voracious predator of pollinators from establishing here.
