Sounds of a healthy reef coaxed coral larvae to settle on artificial structures in Hawai’i—a possible start to “hybrid” reefs, part natural, part built.
A study in Washington State found about nine times as many coyotes per area in Seattle as in remote forests.
Hobbled by a lack of data, scientists have been unable to track biodiversity across much of the planet. A new initiative called Amazon.ia shows how technology might help solve the problem.
A new study finds that stopping logging and wildfires could do more for rainforest wildlife than halting deforestation—and it costs far less than restoration.
A new analysis shows that cavities inside trees can run several degrees cooler than the surrounding air during heatwaves—a finding that reframes the role of forests in a warming world.
Past studies of coral probiotics stayed in the lab. This one tested them on wild coral in the Red Sea during an actual marine heatwave—and the microbes held up.
Researchers find that changing the use of tilling, fertilizers, and chemicals could reshape the microbiomes of farm soils—reducing the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens.
In a new study, people who listened to audio recordings of birds singing report getting less benefit when paired with even quiet traffic sounds.
A new study finds that burying logging debris, instead of burning it, could store far more carbon and generate billions in revenue for forest-thinning projects.
