Deep-sea mining trials revealed significant but localized biodiversity loss in one of the planet’s least explored ecosystems.

Overharvesting has raised conservation concerns for a widely foraged plant, but researchers say that better genetic insights could support more effective protection efforts. For years, the wild ramp ...

Overestimated nitrogen availability has led climate models to exaggerate how much plant growth can offset rising CO2 levels. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major driver of ...

Fossils can reveal far more than the shapes of ancient creatures. Molecules preserved inside old animal bones provide clues about past diseases, what those animals ate, and the climates they lived in.
