In May 2020, a vivid phytoplankton bloom colored the surface waters of the country’s second-longest fjord.

After studying 71 lakes in 33 countries, researchers found that phytoplankton and algae blooms are generally increasing around the world.

Some of the world’s largest, most spectacular and unheralded mammals are silently slipping away, due to more than disease and habitat fragmentation, deforestation or wildlife trade. 

Beavers are ecosystem engineers that cut down trees to build dams, eventually causing floods. 

Study suggests strategies for a flatter progression of citrus greening disease epidemics.

An analysis of high-speed raindrops hitting biological surfaces such as feathers, plant leaves and insect wings reveals how these highly water-repelling veneers reduce the water’s impact.

Princeton University researchers may have solved a long-standing mystery in conservation that could influence how natural lands are designated for the preservation of endangered species.

In previous research, it has been assumed that insects in temperate regions would cope well with or even benefit from a warmer climate. Not so, according to researchers from the Universities of Uppsala and Lund in Sweden and Oviedo, Spain, in a new study.

Evidence of steep declines in muskrat numbers have been observed throughout the animal’s native range.

University of Michigan scientists and their colleagues are forecasting this summer’s Gulf of Mexico hypoxic area or “dead zone”—an area of low to no oxygen that can kill fish and other marine life—to be approximately 6,700 square miles, roughly the size of Connecticut and Delaware combined.
