A king vulture chick at the Bronx Zoo is being hand-raised using a technique developed more than 40 years ago which helps prevent the young bird from imprinting on humans.
he Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is proud to announce that Bank of America, the Central Africa Forest Initiative (CAFI), the Good Energies Foundation, and the UBS Optimus Foundation have made financial commitments to the High Integrity Forest Investment (HIFOR) Initiative.
With more than 181.5 billion tons of wood produced globally each year, a new method could revolutionize how we build sustainably. By infusing red oak with ferrihydrite using a simple, low-cost process, researchers strengthened the wood at the cellular level without adding weight or altering flexibility 鈥� offering a durable, eco-friendly alternative to steel and concrete.
Most people wouldn鈥檛 describe cockroach vomit or kissing bugs as compelling content, but for Jules Bernstein, Senior Public Information Officer at UC Riverside, that鈥檚 exactly where the magic happens.
From its source nestled high in the Rocky Mountains to where it meets the South Platte River just east of Greeley, the Cache la Poudre River flows down 6,155 ft. in elevation, across 126 miles of Colorado countryside and provides an average of 89 billion gallons of water annually鈥攊ncluding drinking water for more than 400,000 residents in northern Colorado.
A first-of-its-kind research expedition to Latham Island has unveiled one of Tanzania鈥檚 most ecologically significant marine ecosystems, with thriving seabird colonies, critically endangered sharks, and climate-resilient coral reefs.
Shermin de Silva researches the ecology, social dynamics and communication of elephants. In recognition of Earth Day 2025, de Silva provides an inside look at a new book she has published on elephant behavior and conservation, along with questions to consider to protect their future.
Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate worldwide, but why? Agricultural intensification tops the list of proposed reasons, but there are many other, interconnected drivers that have an impact, according to new research led by Binghamton University, State University of New York.
Researchers examined teeth and skulls of 99 extinct crocodylomorph species and 20 living crocodylian species to reconstruct the dietary ecology of crocodylomorphs to identify characteristics that helped some groups persist through two mass extinctions.
Researchers in ACS鈥� Environmental Science & Technology demonstrate that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based monitoring system combined with a computer model can link the exposure of neonicotinoid pesticides on individual honeybees to the health of the whole colony.
Woodrats are basically desert superheroes, able to eat toxic plants and survive rattlesnake bites. But researchers from the University of Utah and University of Michigan have found their venom resistance drops when it鈥檚 cold.
Ahead of Earth Day, the University at Albany announced funding for a new student-run tree nursery that will help boost climate resilience and urban forestry in the region.
Historical beliefs of mammals鈥� daily activity periods may not hold true 鈥� especially in regions seeing increased human development, according to a global study.
Wherever there鈥檚 dirt there鈥檚 bound to be ants, but one particular group is so adept at blending in with the ground that they hold the name 鈥渄irt ant鈥� (Basiceros) all to themselves. ...
A scientific paper recently published reveals that soil scratching by gorillas in Congo鈥檚 Nouabal茅-Ndoki National Park is a foraging strategy to access a species of deer truffle, identified as Elaphomyces labyrinthinus, and not insects, as long assumed.
UdeM pharmacy professor Simon Matoori has reviewed studies on the therapeutic properties of honey in the treatment of both acute and chronic wounds.
Satellite data and artificial intelligence, researchers have mapped two crucial forest fire risk indicators鈥攃anopy base height (CBH) and canopy bulk density (CBD)鈥攚ith an impressive resolution of 100 meters. These detailed maps play a pivotal role in fire behavior modeling, enabling better strategies for wildfire mitigation in an era of escalating fire risks driven by climate change. The study holds particular significance for regions prone to extreme fire events, providing a new approach to fire prevention and managements.
A new study led by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the Missouri Botanical Garden has uncovered a surprising layer of diversity in tropical forests.
In the newly published study, 鈥淪ix-decade research bias towards fancy and familiar bird species,鈥� a team of researchers studied nearly 300 North American species of passerines and near-passerines.
University of Rhode Island animal science and technology majors are working on conservation efforts for the imperiled New England cottontail rabbit, considered a vulnerable species in the region because of their decreasing population. The students are helping efforts at Providence鈥檚 Roger Williams Park Zoo.
