New research digs into the back and forth between predators and prey, confirming that these cycles can last for long periods of time.

"Our study shows that mammal biodiversity in the tropics and subtropics today is still being shaped by ancient human events and climate changes."

New research "develops a general theory to study the extraordinary diversity of life using simple rules common to all species."

"There's mounting evidence that different species pay attention to each other in the wild, especially if they share predators."

Earthworms like to hang out where the weather is mild. Rising temperatures could shift where they live and threaten the many functions they provide.

The loss of genetic diversity will make it harder for plant and animal populations to adapt to changing environments. Fish and insects may be most at risk.

When wild animals get sick, they can't go to the drug store or a vet. Predators may be the best solution for keeping herds healthy.

Mountains are a big part of why life on Earth is so richly varied, but why is that? New research digs into what's behind biodiversity mountains support.

Attempts to turn Southern California beaches into Instagram-worthy tourist hot spots are stripping them of their biodiversity, a new study shows.

Poaching, logging, and other human activities are threatening the forests of the Republic of Congo and the incredible diversity of wildlife that live there.
