A study found that characteristics – like sex, habitat quality and human activity – affected elephant movement. Individual elephants consistently moved in different ways from each other, though, suggesting that they have personalities.

A new GPS-enabled study helps answer not only the questions of where and when African elephants in Gabon move, but also why.

A new GPS-enabled study led by 91�������� scientists provides the first landscape-scale documentation of elephant movements across and between seven national parks in Gabon and helps answer not only the questions of where and when the animals move, but also why.

Understanding how seed dispersal works and identifying threats to this mechanism are needed to preserve this critical ecosystem process for forest regrowth.

Oceans — along with coastal people and marine species — are vulnerable, and good ocean governance is critical to protect these expanses from pollution, overfishing and climate change, to name just some of the threats.

Using drones and artificial intelligence to monitor large colonies of seabirds can be as effective as traditional on-the-ground methods while reducing costs, labor and the risk of human error, a new study finds.

The few living North Atlantic right whales are smaller than previous generations, and some show signs of severely stunted development.

A new study claims failure to limit global warming to no more than 2 91��������s C will lead to irreversible loss of the Antarctic ice cap. And that means sea levels will rise faster and faster with no way to stop it.

Oil and gas giants are selling off their most-polluting operations to small private companies. Most manage to escape public scrutiny.

For thousands of years, humanity benefited from a benign and predictable climate whose relative stability permitted the spread of agriculture and the rise of global civilizations. But that stability ended with the first puffs of smoke discharged from the “dark satanic mills” of the Industrial Revolution.

Decades after federal bans ended widespread use of lead in paint and gasoline, some urban soils still contain levels that exceed federal safety guidelines for children, a new study finds.

With diligent classification standards, conservationists avoid giving up on animals too soon.

Signs of rising sea levels can be dramatic on the North Carolina coast. But the day-to-day signs of sea level rise are much more subtle

Decades after federal bans ended widespread use of lead-based paint and gasoline, some urban soils still contain lead levels that exceed safety guidelines for children.

Scientists in North Carolina are hard at work to keep our coastal waters clean as people head back to the beach.
