Planting trees in towns can support declining moths, but only if planners design for tree age, variety, and connected green spaces rather than just adding canopy cover.
Across 25 forest sites in the United States, chemical imbalances in the canopy predicted the timing of autumn leaf fall better than local climate alone.
A computer-modelling study of 2024 Storm Boris shows human-driven warming boosted rainfall by up to 9%, but amplified river flood peaks by up to 22%.
Computer models show that ocean reserves cover only 11.2% to 13.7% of the total human hazards loggerhead turtles face as their habitats shift across seasons.
A study across Costa Rican mountain gardens shows bee diversity peaks halfway up the slopes, while high-altitude bees form tighter, more shared plant networks.
A study in Jimma, Ethiopia, shows that four threatened vulture species gather at urban waste sites, especially during the wet season, but face deadly risks from electric lines.
A lab screen revealed that knocking out a protein called RPS19 stops liver tumours from bribing immune cells into ignoring them. Targeted nanoparticles delivering gene-editing tools halted tumour growth in mice.
In a phase 2 trial, lung cancer patients whose circulating tumour DNA cleared during early treatment stayed cancer-free significantly longer over 24 months.
A survey of 244 environmental professionals across 25 countries reveals that saving wildlife now depends as much on tackling crime and corruption as it does on ecology.
A global database tracking 46 sirenian and marine carnivoran species shows that nearly half face extinction, yet scientific knowledge is heavily skewed towards migratory and long-known animals. Geographic range size emerged as the main predictor of extinction risk.
