WCS Papua New Guinea, lead national NGO partner on the expedition, lauds the continued attention on and ambition for Papua New Guinea’s coastal seas, particularly in light of recent major MPA commitments made by local communities who will be visited during the course of the expedition
University of Utah biologists discover that multiple species of Myrmelachista ants have independently evolved the same specialized relationship with understory trees of Neotropical rainforests.
By harnessing the power of machine learning, researchers have constructed a framework for analyzing what factors most significantly contribute to a species’ genetic diversity.
A group of coffee producers has filmed an extremely rare small carnivore, the Amazon weasel (Neogale africana), near their shade-grown plots as part of a citizen science monitoring program. This species has never previously been recorded in Bolivia.
Although there is a large body of research on pests evolving tolerances for the pesticides meant to destroy them, there have been considerably fewer studies on how non-target animals in these ecosystems may do the same.
July 28 marks World Nature Conservation Day, a global initiative to raise awareness about protecting our natural environment.
A new study shows that wolves in Washington state are not having much of an impact on white-tailed deer, one of their primary prey. In a paper published June 18, scientists report that the biggest factor shaping white-tailed deer populations in northeast Washington is the quality of habitat available. Cougars were second in their impact. Wolves were a distant third.
A new study reveals that the rare Desertas Petrels, a wide-ranging seabird in the North Atlantic, exhibit unique foraging behaviors during hurricane season.
A type of extinct kangaroo that lived during the Pleistocene around two and a half million to ten thousand years ago, known as the ‘giant wallaby’, was a poor hopper, a study by scientists at the University of Bristol have found.
UC San Diego Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Itay Budin teamed up with researchers from around the country to study the cell membranes of ctenophores (“comb jellies”) and found they had unique lipid structures that allow them to live under intense pressure. Their work appears in Science.
In a rare opportunity to study carnivores before and after wolves were reintroduced to their ranges, researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that the effects of wolves on Isle Royale have been only temporary. And even in the least-visited national park, humans had a more significant impact on carnivores’ lives.

A new study out this week finds that protecting an additional 1.2% of the world's land as nature preserves would prevent the majority of predicted plant and animal extinctions. ...
The Rhisotope Project at Wits is entering a new testing phase with the insertion of radioisotopes into 20 live rhinoceros.
As a result of a thorough process based on the Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) Standard, Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, which has been under WCS management for over 30 years, has become the first site in the world to be recognized for its ecological integrity – a measure of the region's robust natural processes and resilience against disturbances.
Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory are monitoring areas around Hawaii with AI-enabled sensors to better understand the community’s recovery process from the 2023 wildfire and provide new air quality and weather data.
Three internationally renowned FAU researchers provide “best practices” and answer some of the most frequently asked questions to help protect Florida’s nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings.
A new type of dart launcher has been developed as a safer and more cost-effective alternative to firearms or air guns to inject animals with drugs or tracking chips.
For the first time, a multi-disciplinary team of scientists analyzes sea ice thickness against polar bear and seal survival across all of Hudson Bay; due to faster-than-expected sea ice loss, scientists predict localized polar bear extinction if Paris Agreements are not met
Genome analysis of over 800 polar and grizzly bears reveals no new hybrids and confirms the eight previously-known “grolar bears”
