Creating a sustainable future for our "patchwork Earth" will require us to think about regional differences complexity, say researchers.

A new mathematical model describes the effects of severe storms on kelp forest ecosystems, particularly the seafloor communities.

Researchers thought Pacific and Caribbean crocodile populations in Panama would be different species. Their genes tell a different story, one about the Ice Age.

The most diverse bee communities have the lowest levels of viral pathogens. "Promoting diverse bee communities may be a win-win strategy..."

Fish feces and other waste—roughly 1.65 billion tons annually—make up about 16% of the total carbon that sinks below the ocean's upper layers, research finds.

Researchers have created a new solution for generating solar power. The new "windows" could create energy from light from indoors and outdoors.

The "Ocean 100," a small group of companies, make most of the money from the ocean economy, researchers report. That has implications for climate change.

Temperature and rainfall during the summer strongly influences honey bee survival the following winter, researchers find.

A new discovery about how rocks on Earth rusted and turned red could help predict what will happen with future climate change, researchers report.

Human-created noise can disrupt the behavior, physiology, reproduction, and ecosystems of whales and other ocean life. It can even lead to death.
