Night-time collisions with robotic lawnmowers are a significant animal welfare and conservation problem for hedgehogs as these often suffer serious or even fatal injuries. In order to make the operation of
Scientists have developed a tool to narrow down potential host species of filoviruses like Ebola and better prioritize wildlife surveillance.
Evidence from over 18,300 hours of recorded flight calls suggests songbirds may ‘talk’ to other species as they migrate, forming social connections and — just maybe — exchanging information about the
Researchers have identified the behavioral strategies that parasitic cricket species employ to infiltrate and inhabit host ant colonies. Their research demonstrates that these crickets use ‘distancing’ and ‘dodging’ behaviors, adapting their
Experts are warning of the risks of spreading invasive and non-native species when moving large volumes of untreated lake, reservoir and river water.
