Researchers discover surprisingly high levels of genetic diversity among the colorful male morphs of a freshwater fish.

Watch one scurry around upside down in a remarkably unusual form of locomotion.

Microscopic creatures called epibionts that live on sea turtles’ shells can help researchers understand their secretive lives.

Six GPS-tracked wild cats wandered closer to Santa Cruz, California, and surrounding towns as human activity died down under shelter-in-place orders last March.

Lab-grown cells from the reef-building coral Acropora tenuis provide new opportunities to study bleaching, symbioses, and biomineralization.

Bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of animals may influence the adaptive trajectories of their hosts.

The New Mexico State University soil microbiologist uses molecular tools to understand how fungi are adapting to a warming world and what that might mean for global nutrient cycles.

New genomic analyses reveal that piscine orthoreovirus first came to the Pacific in 1989, around the same time that salmon farms in the area started importing Atlantic salmon eggs from Europe.

In areas where gray wolf populations have grown, motorists have fewer collisions with deer, likely due to the predators keeping deer away from roadways.

Throughout his career, the University of California, Berkeley, herpetologist named 144 species of salamanders.

Single-cell RNA sequencing helps to catalog the dozens of cell types present in a stony coral, including its elusive immune cells.

For the first time, scientists tracked large shark movements during hurricanes and found that tiger sharks may find the turmoil opportunistic for feeding.

After years of push back, the first batch of Oxitec’s engineered mosquitoes, designed to reduce population numbers, have been released in the Keys.

In the book’s introduction, “Connections,” Suzanne Simard relates how her “perception of the woods has been turned upside down.”

The Centenary University professor studies the far-reaching effects of changes in the gut bacteria of mosquitos and other species.

Feeding the world’s insatiable appetite for wood products is sacrificing the future of a crucial ecosystem.

A tidy-up of a New Zealand storage room led to the sale of naming rights for three new-to-science Galápagos Islands species.

As they close in for the kill, the flying mammals use quieter echolocation to focus on the chase.

The offspring of crosses between related species can sometimes fill a new environmental niche, and such hybridizations may even lead to speciation.
