Maths plays a crucial role in new research which finds that bats “leapfrog” their way home at night.

Humans have long struggled to understand the nocturnal world. As environmental change becomes increasingly acute, understanding their lives has never been more critical.

These nocturnal insects have amassed an impressive defensive arsenal against bats’ echolocation.

By looking at the eye bones and ear canals of extinct dinosaurs, researchers show that a small ancient predator likely hunted at night and had senses as good as a modern barn owl.

New research sheds light on the unsung heroes of pollination.
