Isotope changes in the bones demonstrate a similar pattern across far-flung islands.

Scientists who designed a marine robot to survey ocean life were inspired by eel larvae.

Identifying microbes from Earth that can survive on spacecraft may help scientists eliminate them from future space missions and from searches for extraterrestrial life.

Unmanned aerial vehicles allow researchers to collect huge volumes of biological data cheaply, easily, and at higher resolution than ever before.

Scandinavian mother bears gain a survival advantage by weaning their babies later than normal, analysis of a 30-year dataset suggests.

Experiments to cultivate greens on the International Space Station and in simulated Martian environments pave the way for feeding crews during deep space missions.

Scientists are searching for signatures of mammals within the blood meals of the invertebrates.

The bat version of the STING protein helps dampen the mammals' immune response to infection, researchers have found.

Some beetle species may have evolved to tunnel into the ground to escape the pathogens that abound on dead and rotting animals.
