When we think about using the natural power of the earth, like sun or wind, we don’t usually think about how this might hurt animals. But researchers are finding that we can use sustainable energy while still taking care of our flying friends.
A team of scientists is investigating how human-caused climate change is affecting U.S. National Parks.
Trap-jaw ants come with spring-loaded jaws that can snap shut faster than any other animal’s. But they may also use their jaws to catapult themselves through the air.
Flowering plants, called angiosperms, are absolutely everywhere (even in Antarctica!). They are some of the most successful living things around. But what made them so successful?
Families are important to many animals, but are they also important to organisms made of just one cell? For amoebas, the ability to recognize relatives can make a world of difference.
Whoever came up with the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” probably never met the Chinese Grouse (Tetrastes sewerzowi). For the Chinese Grouse, judging a mate by its cover is actually the way to go.
A dangerous fungus arrived in North America from Eurasia that has been killing millions of bats. Is it possible that bacteria that are already on the bats’ skin are their best allies in fighting this fungus?
Plankton are ocean creatures so small we can’t see them without a microscope, but just because they are small doesn’t mean they don’t play an important role in the ocean ecosystem.
Ants can move nutrients from one area to another in the forest. When ants build their homes inside a plant, does the food they carry and store also help the plant?
Honeybees need the bacteria in their bellies to stay healthy, but the medicine we give them may be wiping them out.
The climate on our planet is changing, but what does this mean for living things, like plants and animals? Scientists investigated how birds respond to the changing climate.
We can learn a lot about animals by watching their behavior, but what about by looking at their surroundings? See what scientists can learn about bats based on the type of environment in which they live.
Learn how choosing a mate affects the success of zebra finches in making and raising young.
Your mom tells you to eat all your vegetables for a reason, because she wants you to grow big and strong. She doesn’t just want your body to grow strong. She wants your brain to grow strong too.
People come in all shapes and sizes… but could storing more body fat affect your sense of taste?
Scientists are learning that even bumblebees possess the basic parts of culture too.
Scientists are now figuring out a way to predict a patient’s response to drugs, and how the placebo effect can mess with actual drug effects.
Reading minds may no longer be science fiction. Brain waves can be sent through the Internet to create an instant message in another person’s mind.
Dive into the marine world with us to explore the effects of rising temperature and ocean acidification on algae.
