A new international study has revealed the genetic impact of hunting in northern elephant seals.

New research out of Southern Cross University has found previously undocumented variation in coral heat tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef, giving hope that corals’ own genetic resources may hold the key for us to help in its recovery and adaptation.

The birds save more energy prior their migration to the south than they consume during the flight itself.

Ecologists have long sought clarity on the dietary habits of different animal species.

Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, according to new research.

Soaring human demand for krill in the Southern Ocean poses a challenge to the recovery of whale species once hunted nearly to extinction. Stanford researchers identify the growing food conflict and offer solutions.

Gardens can become “living artworks” to help prevent the disastrous decline of pollinating insects, according to researchers working on a new project.
