Climate change is likely to abruptly push species over tipping points as their geographic ranges reach unforeseen temperatures, finds a new study led by a UCL researcher.

A new study examines indicators of mental wellbeing in wild animals to improve conservation efforts.

In recent decades, scientists have produced countless studies on the effects of one environmental factor or another — climate change, deforestation or pollution, for example — on wildlife and habitats around the world.

In a study tracking climate-induced changes in the distribution of animals and their effects on ecosystem functions, North Carolina State University researchers show that resident species can continue managing some important ecological processes despite the arrival of newcomers that are similar to them, but resident species’ role in ecosystem functioning changes when the newcomers are more different.

A new study from North Carolina State University finds carrying pollen is a workout that significantly increases the body temperature of bumble bees.

In a bid to control the Canada goose population in the city, the Vancouver Park Board has approved a plan for “lethal removal.”

Shelled pteropods, commonly known as sea butterflies, are increasingly exposed to ocean changes, but some species are more vulnerable to this threat.

An interdisciplinary team in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences — in an initiative aimed at better understanding the implications of climate change for animal and plant life and agricultural systems — is focusing on an emerging field of study called landscape transcriptomics.

A University of Queensland study has found humpback whales sing louder when the wind is noisy, but don’t have the same reaction to boat engines.

Protecting lions and the interests of cattle producers in Kenya is a difficult balancing act.
