Humans have had a complex relationship with this marsupial, known for its pointy snout, thin tail and large hind feet.
With location regulations no longer in force, fishing boats are harvesting thousands of tons of krill from very few areas, increasing competition with penguins, seals, whales and other marine life.
Microbial ecology helps explain how ecosystems respond to environmental pressures.
From raucous honeyeaters to top predators, Australia’s birds are vital to nature.
Understanding what happened in these forests 56 million years ago may help humanity recognize similar thresholds before we cross them again, the lead author of a new study writes.
Environmental DNA contained in a small sample of water, sand or even air can reveal the presence of people, wildlife and pathogens, helping researchers track where they’ve migrated.
Birds that migrate longer distances are the ones having the most trouble keeping up with climate change.
Involving families, educators, engineers, designers and policymakers in AI development can help ensure the technology does more good than harm.
Understanding how female baboons benefit from social bonds helps humans understand their own origins.
Understanding how rural communities use fire is the first step in managing it.
An underwater eruption has spread vast ‘rafts’ of pumice through the Bismarck Sea, hampering marine travel and wreaking uncertain long-term consequences.
Approximately 400,000 bison roam the North American landscape today, of which nearly 90% are considered livestock.
