A recent study found that freshwater fish are significantly more contaminated with toxic forever chemicals than compared to saltwater fish and shellfish.
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have found that arthropods are just as important to the environment as humans and farm animals as they have a biomass of about one billion tons, according to a recent study led by Professor Ron Milo.
Earth’s vital signs have worsened to the point that “humanity is unequivocally facing a climate emergency”, according to an international coalition of researchers.
Exeter scientists have provided hope in the fight to control Panama disease in bananas.
As the sun sets, bumblebees revisit "profitable" flowers they encountered during the day, new research suggests.
Scientists have made a fascinating new discovery about the formation of mineral deposits crucial to our transition to a ‘green economy’.
Oxygen levels in the Earth’s atmosphere are likely to have “fluctuated wildly” one billion years ago, creating conditions that could have accelerated the development of early animal life, according to new research.
