Tiny foxes — each no bigger than a five-pound housecat — inhabiting the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California were saved from extinction in 2016. 

Arctic ground squirrels are unique among mammals. 

Heat stress not only afflicts fish in uncomfortably warm waters. 

Dr Cicely Marshall, a researcher at King’s College and the University of Cambridge’s Department of Plant Sciences, led a study to monitor the effects.

A new article published in the Journal of Animal Ecology suggests that current measures to protect grasslands in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are damaging the ecosystem and should be stopped.
