Here’s what we know (and don’t know) about how dangerous PFAS chemicals travel ocean currents and harm wildlife — and what that could mean for humans.

Solving this biodiversity mystery could reveal one of the most important sites to conserve these “rhinos of the sea.”

Plants that depend on wind for pollination or seed dispersal may face challenges as warming temperatures force species to shift their ranges, according to a new study.

A collection of our best articles and essays about some the world’s most at-risk groups of species — and what we can learn from them.

More frequent, longer-lasting blooms can harm both wildlife and human health — and even kill. Can we learn to predict and prevent them?

Thousands of plant and animal species are already shifting their ranges in response to a changing climate. Will they be welcome?

Wolves often get the blame for killing caribou in Canada’s boreal forests, but the real threat is human activity, new research finds.

Our research finds ethical problems that lock certain researchers out of the conservation and biodiversity publishing system — and offers resources to help decide where to submit new research.

Fish in the northern reaches of the planet are adapted to thrive in some of the most dynamic conditions, but new research finds that some species are showing decline.

Areas with natural buffers from the effects of climate change could play a vital role in conservation efforts. New research helps to better understand them.
