A NOAA Fisheries partnership is developing imaging technology for drones that could significantly reduce cost, risk, and disturbance in marine mammal surveys.

QUT researchers have developed an innovative method for detecting koala populations using drones and infrared imaging that is more reliable and less invasive than traditional animal population monitoring techniques.

As cities get bigger and cover more land, the need to make space for wildlife – including insects – in urban areas has become more pressing.

To stabilize the Earth’s climate for people and ecosystems, it is imperative to ramp up natural climate solutions and, at the same time, accelerate mitigation efforts across the energy and industrial sectors, according to a new policy perspective published today in Science. 

The sea bed in the deep ocean during the Cambrian period was thought to have been inhospitable to animal life because it lacked enough oxygen to sustain it.

In the tropical jungle of Central America where predators abound, a species of cuckoo has found safety in numbers by building communal nests guarded by two or three breeding pairs.

Aerial migration is the fastest, yet most energetically demanding way of seasonal movements between habitats. 

Giraffes that live close to densely populated towns have larger home ranges than giraffes that live far from towns, according to a new study by an international team of wildlife researchers from the University of Zürich, Penn State, and the Wild Nature Institute. 

Nothing brightens a yard like a flock of twittering birds, and nothing draws them like a free meal—but it’s an open question whether bird feeders are good for them or not, says a University of Alberta expert.

A new study released this month reveals interactions such as predation and competition between plant and animal species are much stronger in tropical regions and lower elevations.
