A new paper published in Science Advances synthesizes the impact of metal and coal mines on salmon and trout in northwestern North America, and highlights the need for more complete and transparent science to inform mining policy.  

Animals that live in groups tend to be more protected from predators.

The evening grosbeak, a noisy and charismatic songbird, once arrived at Oregon State University in springtime flocks so vast an OSU statistics professor estimated there were up to a quarter million of the birds on campus daily.

Marine biologists have found that black sea urchins in the Mediterranean Sea are remarkably tolerant of warm, acidic water.

As climate change alters environments across the globe, scientists have discovered that in response, many species are shifting the timing of major life events, such as reproduction. 

Understanding how birds respond to climate change is a critical area of research that Elizabeth Derryberry, associate professor in the UT Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and her colleagues are racing to understand, including the increased prevalence and intensity of heat waves.

On January 1, 2020 the Republic of Palau implemented one of the world's largest marine protected areas. 

Migratory birds are declining globally because of the way that humans have modified the landscape over recent decades – according to new research from the University of East Anglia.

Even if global temperatures begin to decline after peaking this century because of climate change, the risks to biodiversity could persist for decades after, finds a new study by UCL and University of Cape Town researchers.

It’s hard to forget the excruciating heat that blanketed the Pacific Northwest in late June 2021.
