A cetacean succumbed to a fungal infection shortly after being darted by researchers seeking to learn more about the species’ migrations and population dynamics.

Scientists from countries with fewer resources are pushing collaborators from higher-income countries to shed biases and behaviors that perpetuate social stratification in the research community.

With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.

Biologists and conservationists are too eager to demonize non-native species.

Organisms introduced to new habitats pose a significant threat to the native flora and fauna.

Traveling to the ends of the earth in pursuit of biological quarry is not part of the job description for the average molecular biologist. But for anthropologist Don Melnick, going to work means trekking through the jungles of Southeast Asia for blood samples from the Javan silvery gibbon and other endangered animals. And the jobs of geneticist John Avise and biologist Brian Bowen entail long nights on tropical beaches waiting for nesting sea turtles. The following are the top ecology journal

Assessments of species vulnerability provide crucial information for conservation efforts. But the science behind them is still evolving.

14-day-old embryos, prioritizing biodiversity, and more

Is marking the wild animals we study skewing our results? And if so, what can we do about it?

Biologist David Gruber studies radiant creatures and their fluorescent proteins.
