Many small animals make their teeth and claws from a smooth blend of proteins and heavy elements. These materials can form very sharp tools that make it possible to cut tough substances using tiny muscles.

Biological control strategies curb pests using other species that attack the invader. A biologist explains why it can take more than a decade to develop an effective biological control program.

The increasing prevalence of white LED streetlamps spells worrying population declines for insects like moths.

The insect Haplaxius crudus harms more than a dozen species of palm trees. A new publication is a first step toward controlling the problem.
