Beavers and wolverines in Northern Alberta are using industry-created borrow pits as homes and feeding grounds, according to a new study by University of Alberta ecologists. 

A Columbia study provides a blueprint for the use of genomics to help combat climate change.

Study‘s agar ‘frogs’ help to determine impact of water loss, temperature rise

A recent study from the University of Florida found that sea level rise—combined with the burrowing and grazing activities of Sesarma, a native marsh crab—are causing salt marshes across the U.S. South Atlantic Coast to rapidly fracture and reorganize.

The study examined over 6,200 species from eight taxonomic groups, including insects, birds, and flowering plants.

In three years, the alga had grown into abundant mats of over 100,000 square feet each at Pearl and Hermes Atoll, outcompeting the species typically living in these ecosystems.

Understanding predator hunting behavior and strategies is key to protecting vulnerable native species.

An increase of 20 to 30 per cent in invasive non-native (alien) species would lead to dramatic future biodiversity loss worldwide.

A new study has narrowed down the region of the genome that drives the black color in throat and face of warblers by studying the hybrid offspring produced when two species mate.

Some toxin-producing algae can be harmful to human health when the algae are present in high numbers.
