The islands’ sea turtles are recovering from over-harvesting – but climate change is causing habitat loss, an increasingly female population (the sex of turtle hatchlings is determined by temperature) and has the potential to reduce egg-hatching success.

Mass coral bleaching events are making it harder for some species of reef fish to identify competitors, new research reveals.

Temperatures are rising faster than many species can evolve to cope with them, posing a long-term threat to their survival. 

By working together, dolphins and net-casting fishers in Brazil each catch more fish, a rare example of an interaction by two top predators that is beneficial to both parties, researchers have concluded following 15 years of study of the practice.

Every year, tens of thousands of birds flock to Lake Abert as they journey from parts of the Great Basin toward the Pacific flyway, a migration route that extends from Alaska and Canada, through California, to Mexico and South America.

Michigan State University and the National Audubon Society are teaming up to help protect declining bird populations across North America.

A new Lancaster University project which calls for local people to watch the seabirds of Morecambe Bay is about to take full flight.

Better fisheries management and conservation is effective at turning the tide on the shark and ray declines, according to a study from Simon Fraser University researchers.

Researchers discover elephant extinction could have major impact on atmospheric carbon levels.

Wolves on an Alaskan island caused a deer population to plummet and switched to primarily eating sea otters in just a few years, a finding scientists at Oregon State University and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game believe is the first case of sea otters becoming the primary food source for a land-based predator.
