The lack of data about insect life in Australia is already having consequences for plants, animals, and even people.
Wildlife monitoring is vital to arresting Australia’s extinction crisis. But research shows we may be getting false pictures of how species are faring.
The Big Butterfly Count reported its worst results in 14 years of monitoring UK species.
Orangutans are vocal animals, so analyzing their calls during events like wildfires can indicate how smoke is affecting their health.
Rivers are among the most embattled ecosystems on Earth. Researchers are testing a new, inexpensive way to study river health by using eDNA to count the species that rivers harbor.
African elephants stay in touch over large distances. We found out how.
A new method of using camera traps has brought good and bad news for conservationists.
Scientists thought there was only one sixgill sawshark species – until now.
As well as a stark warning about climate change, the disaster underlines the importance of wildlife monitoring.
