Expanding forests darken the outlook for butterflies, study shows
Changing environmental conditions in the Canadian Rockies are stifling the mating choices of butterflies in the region, say University of Alberta researchers. view more (2005-07-19)
Introduced marine species get larger in the invaded region
The transport of species outside their native region through human activities has often had a dramatic impact on the ecosystems into which these species are introduced and on the surrounding economies. The consequences of introduction for the introduced species itself, including changes in body size and shape, are less recognized. Prior studies of... view more... (2003-08-13)

Humans lend a hand to critically endangered waterbird
Human impact on one of the world's most threatened bird species can be beneficial rather than destructive - and could even save it from extinction - according to counterintuitive new findings by the University of East Anglia (UEA). view more (2009-07-27)
Race to halt global amphibian crisis boosted by rediscovery of endangered Colombian frogs
The rediscovery of two frog species feared extinct has made a new Colombian protected area the focal point for efforts to save amphibians from a deadly fungus decimating their populations in Central and South America. view more (2006-06-07)
All species are not created equal when assessing the impacts of species loss on ecosystems
Numerous studies have shown that when species are randomly lost from communities, ecosystem function declines. But such patterns of species loss do not reflect those in natural communities where major drivers of change, such as stress and disturbance, cause preferential loss of rare and uncommon species. In the June issue of Ecology Letters, Smith... view more... (2003-05-22)
Global map shows new patterns of extinction risk
The most detailed world map of mammals, birds and amphibians ever produced shows that endangered species from these groups do not inhabit the same geographical areas, says new research published today. view more (2006-11-02)
Dying frogs sign of a biodiversity crisis
Devastating declines of amphibian species around the world are a sign of a biodiversity disaster larger than just frogs, salamanders and their ilk, according to researchers from the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2008-08-13)
Smithsonian scientists working to save microscopic threatened species
The Smithsonian's National Zoo recently acquired 12,000 new animals-microscopic Elkhorn coral larvae harvested by National Zoo scientists in Puerto Rico-as part of an international collaborative program to raise the threatened species. view more (2007-09-27)
Arctic climate models playing key role in polar bear decision
The pending federal decision about whether to protect the polar bear as a threatened species is as much about climate science as it is about climate change. view more (2008-03-12)
Life on the edge: To disperse, or become extinct?
The hardiest plants and those most likely to survive the climatic shifts brought about by global warming are now easier to identify, thanks to new research findings by a team from Queen's University. view more (2008-06-24)
New, rare and threatened species discovered in Ghana
Scientists exploring one of the largest remaining blocks of tropical forest in Western Africa discovered significant populations of new, rare and threatened species underscoring the area's high biological diversity and value. view more (2007-12-07)
New species of monkey discovered in Tanzania is a new genus
A new monkey species discovered last year by scientists with the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and other groups is now shown to be so unique, it requires a new genus - the first one for monkeys in 83 years. view more (2006-05-12)
Ocean acidification threatens cold-water coral ecosystems
Corals don't only occur in warm, sun-drenched, tropical seas; some species are found at depths of three miles or more in cold, dark waters throughout the world's oceans. view more (2006-04-03)
Analysis: 2007 legal opinion is a threat to imperiled species
If the federal government implements a 2007 legal interpretation of the Endangered Species Act, the likely result will be a reduction in the number of species listed for protection, scientists say. view more (2009-08-04)
Mistaken identity? When a white marlin may not always be a white marlin
For years, anglers thinking they were catching the prized white marlin may have caught something quite different, raising concerns about the true remaining numbers of the threatened species, according to an article in the most recent issue of the scientific journal Bulletin of Marine Science. view more (2007-02-26)
NOAA bans commercial harvesting of krill
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) today published a final rule in the Federal Register prohibiting the harvesting of krill in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington. view more (2009-07-14)
