Harbor porpoises are one of the smallest marine mammals in the world. They are also difficult to study because they are highly mobile and don’t spend a lot of time at the surface of the water.

New research explores how the Sargassum might grow while it is meandering along the currents, not just where it floats, combining both ocean physics and seaweed biology for the first time to understand its distribution patterns.

Kelp forests in the UK and the wider North-East Atlantic will experience a marked change in ecosystem functioning in response to continued ocean warming and the increase of warm-water kelp species, according to a new study led by a team from the Marine Biological Association and the University of Plymouth.

A whistle blows and young men in brightly coloured jerseys race towards a soccer ball on a grassy field in Erat, a community that lies within the boundaries of Korup National Park in southwest Cameroon.

Man-made structures such as oil platforms can help protect sea creatures threatened by climate change and habitat loss, a study suggests.

Study tracked how species in Southern California fared during historic drought from 2012-2015.

A new genetic analysis of invasive pythons captured across South Florida finds the big constrictors are closely related to one another.

Scientists from the University of Bristol have uncovered the age-old mystery of why marimo algae balls sink at night and float during the day.

Scientists have revisited – and confirmed – one of the most famous textbook examples of evolution in action.

By sequencing the genome of the yellow-banded bumblebee, York University researchers have found that inbreeding and disease are likely culprits in their rapid decline in North America.
