The Tiger Rattlesnake possesses the simplest, yet most toxic venom of any rattlesnake species, and now new research from a team lead by a University of South Florida biologist can explain the genetics behind the predator’s fearsome bite.

Protected areas are critical to mitigating extinction of species; however, they may also be in conflict with efforts to feed the growing human population. 

For the first time, scientists have successfully used satellite cameras coupled with deep learning to count animals in complex geographical landscapes, taking conservationists an important step forward in monitoring populations of endangered species.

Dolphins are now frequent visitors to the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers in New Jersey, indicating a healthier environment.

Gentoo penguins are benefiting from a newly enlarged no-fishing zone (known as a No-Take Zone NTZ) around the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia following British Antarctic Survey (BAS) tracking research commissioned by the RSPB.

Most frogs emit a characteristic croak to attract the attention of a potential mate. 

Scientists and the public can access a comprehensive collection of standardized contaminant data from the Great Lakes to inform decisions and track the progress of restoration activities.

New research investigates the impacts of red and green algae on albedo and radiative forcing in Antarctica.

By feeding arctic ground squirrels special diets, researchers have found that omega-3 fatty acids, common in flax seed and fish oil, help keep the animals warmer in deep hibernation.

With the impact of climate change increasing by the day, scientists are studying the ways in which human behavior contributes to the damage.
