A new study shows that the replacement of wild herbivores with domestic grazers can drastically influence the numbers of ground-dwelling arthropods like spiders, as well as disease-carrying animals like ticks and mites.
A new study highlights how animals unintentionally document our environmental problems.
New research from Japan’s Mt. Norikura shows that birds breeding at high elevations rely on insects that originate downslope.
A new study describes botanical collections that have been made over the last approximately 185 years in New Mexico, finding gaps in our understanding of the state’s biodiversity.
A pathogen for bird pink eye remains viable on bird feeders in winter conditions much longer than in summer conditions, according to a recent study.
Researchers used motion-triggered cameras to record the predation for the first time.
New research shows how herbivores like sea snails can promote the spread of seagrass wasting disease.
