A new study shows that artificial ponds created to restore peatlands exploited by humans achieve a balance similar to that of natural ponds, but it takes time.
Swedish forests with few tree species pose considerably higher risk of being damaged — and especially vulnerable is the introduced lodgepole pine.
New research reveals modern housing in rural Kenya attracts bats, potentially increasing human exposure to bat-borne pathogens.
In doing so, the wolves may act as pollinators – perhaps the first known plant-pollinator interaction involving a large carnivore.
A new publication addresses a critical gap surrounding highway wildlife crossings: the need to expressly consider the impacts of climate change.
An international research team finds pollinators and predators promote profitable, sustainable farming.

A unique data set on the occurrence of amphipods in Swiss groundwater shows that land use within a radius of up to one kilometre from the groundwater extraction site has an impact on these sensitive creatures.
Polar bears in some parts of the high Arctic are developing ice buildup and related injuries to their feet, apparently due to changing sea ice conditions in a warming Arctic.
The assortment of species of tiny soil animals – small enough to stand on the head of a pin – differ from one urban park to another, unlike plants and larger animals where a few species are often found across many parks.
