Researchers have revealed that threatened birds have disappeared from almost 70 per cent of Australia since European colonisation.

Little food reaches the depths below the permanently ice-covered Arctic Ocean, because light limits the productivity of algae.

When we think of climate change, we often imagine how a warmer world will impact species, but a new study highlights the importance of changes in precipitation.
