There were more small meat-eating dinosaurs than first thought
University of Alberta researchers used fossilized teeth to identify at least 23 species of small meat-eating dinosaurs that roamed western Canada and the United States, 85 to 65 million years ago. View More (2013-01-24)
Most plant species important in various and varying ecosystems: ISU research
From the kinds that people sneeze at, to the kinds that have prickly seeds that stick to pant legs, there are many different types of plants in grasslands around the world. View More (2011-08-11)
11,000 alien species invade Europe
For the first time it is now possible to get a comprehensive overview of which alien species are present in Europe, their impacts and consequences for the environment and society. View More (2008-11-21)
Not batty conservation
Noah had it easy. To weather the storm of impending disaster that would wipe-out life on earth, he simply protected a male and female of each species on the ark. Protecting contemporary biodiversity from the deluge of human activities that threaten life on earth is more difficult and requires a global network of reserves that includes all species. In the most recent issue of Ecology Letters,... View More (2003-09-17)
Nature's gift for gardening may hold key to biodiversity
Gardeners are used to cross-breeding flowers to produce pretty petals or sweet scents - now scientists have shown the importance of nature's talent for producing new types of flowers. View More (2010-09-14)
Rediscovery of disappeared species: Truly back from the brink?
Extinction is a focal issue among scientists, policy makers and the general public. Each year, numerous species which are thought to have disappeared are rediscovered. Yet, these rediscoveries remain on the brink of extinction. View More (2011-08-15)
Different coat color may not mean different species for lemurs
Researchers have found that lemurs suspected to belong to different species because of their strikingly different coat colors, are not only genetically alike, but belong to the same species. View More (2006-11-16)
'Hidden' differences of chromosome organization become visible
Why different species have dissimilar sets of chromosomes? Why the differentiated species often conserve apparently identical chromosome complements? View More (2011-08-26)
Species distribution models can exaggerate differences in environmental requirements
Separate species that live in radically different environments don't necessarily also have different ecological niches. This is the finding of a study investigating the accuracy of current statistical tests that use models of geographic distributions to infer changes in environmental requirements.

Smaller plants punch above their weight in the forest, say Queen's biologists
New findings from Queen's University biologists show that in the plant world, bigger isn't necessarily better. View More (2009-07-15)
Global ISU study: Invasive species widespread, but not more than at home range
Invasive plant species have long had a reputation as being bad for a new ecosystem when they are introduced. View More (2011-03-02)
Time series identify population responses to climate change
Biologists have for several years modeled how different species are likely to respond to climate change. Most such studies ignore differences between populations within a species and the interactions between species, in the interest of simplicity. View More (2009-06-01)
Rove beetles act as warning signs for clear-cutting consequences
New research from the University of Alberta and the Canadian Forest Service has revealed the humble rove beetle may actually have a lot to tell us about the effects of harvesting on forests species. View More (2007-06-13)
Online collaboration identifies bacteria
A new website has been launched which allows scientists everywhere to collaborate on the identification of bacterial strains. This new resource, described in the open access journal BMC Biology, provides a portal for electronic bacterial taxonomy. View More (2009-02-19)
A new species of a tiny freshwater snail collected from a mountainous spring in Greece
A new minute freshwater snail species belonging to the genus Daphniola was found by a researcher from University of Athens (Canella Radea) in a spring covered by snow on Mt. Parnassos, central Greece. View More (2011-11-01)
A rather thin and long new snake crawls out of one of Earth's biodiversity hotspots
Field and laboratory work by a group of zoologists led by Omar Torres-Carvajal from Museo de Zoología QCAZ, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, has resulted in the discovery of a new species of blunt-headed vine snake from the Chocoan forests in northwestern Ecuador. View More (2012-11-28)
Do you know what are you eating?
The project presented by Basque research center AZTI is about a new research line: a new method to identify the food and fish products once they are processed. Due to the big demand on that kind of researches, AZTI has been financed by the Fishing and Agricultural Department of the Basque Government to create a new laboratory of genetics. In fact, genetic analyses are considered as a powerful... View More (2002-12-05)
2 miniature spider species discovered in giant panda sanctuaries of China
Two new minute spider species have been discovered from the Sichuan and Chongqing, China. The tiny new spiders are both less than 2 mm in length, with Trogloneta yuensis being as little as 1.01 mm and Mysmena wawuensis measured to be the even tinier 0.75 mm, which classes it among the smallest spiders known.

A beautiful species of tree iguana redescribed 179 years after its discovery
Tree iguanas (Liolaemus) are one of the most diverse genus of lizards in the world with 230 described species. View More (2013-04-24)
DNA solves identities of Australian melons and loofah
Molecular data have shown that three Australian Cucurbitaceae species initially collected in 1856 but never accepted as separate species are distinct from each other and that one of them is the closest relative of the honeymelon, Cucumis melo. View More (2011-07-28)
