The climate crisis is limiting the availability of krill —small crustaceans that are vital in the marine food chain— during summer in some areas of the Antarctica.

There’ s no longer any doubt — the wolves found in Norway and Sweden today are actually Finnish, according to extensive studies done on their genetic make-up. Humans wiped out Norway’s original wolf population in the wild around 1970.

When animals catch COVID-19 from humans, new SARS-CoV-2 variants can arise. 

A Texas A&M AgriLife-led study will look at increasing populations of the endangered cat.

Researchers investigate the combined effect of drought and fire on stream communities, highlighting the importance of headwaters

At first glance, Antarctica seems inhospitable. Known for howling gales and extremely cold temperatures, the continent is blanketed with a mile-thick ice shelf. 

A team of international researchers from Canada, Colombia, and Germany has discovered a new marine reptile.

From 50,000 years to 6,000 years ago, many of the world’s largest animals, including such iconic grassland grazers as the woolly mammoth, giant bison, and ancient horses, went extinct.

Serving up too much soft food to animals rescued into captivity might reduce their survival chances when released back into the wild.

Coastal marshes that have been invaded by feral hogs recover from disturbances up to three times slower than non-invaded marshes and are far less resilient to sea-level rise, extreme drought and other impacts of climate change, a new study led by scientists at Duke University and the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB) finds.
