Climate change is driving drastic environmental shifts and accelerating global biodiversity loss. Hybrid introgression has recently emerged as a key mechanism enabling rapid adaptation to historical ...

Researchers study house sparrow genetics to understand survival, evolution, and how species respond to environmental change.

As climate change rapidly transforms ecosystems, it threatens to wipe out vital species, potentially leading to ecosystem collapse. Islands, to which many species from elsewhere can’t disperse ...

Both crises share common roots and solutions, researchers say. The same global food system that is fueling rising obesity rates is also accelerating climate change, according to a sweeping new ...

A widely cited study on economic damage from climate change was retracted Wednesday following criticism from peers. The research, published last year in the prestigious journal Nature, projected that ...

Researchers compared how genetically similar populations of Pocillopora corals cope with heat stress in Panama’s Gulf of Panama and Gulf of Chiriquí, both on the Pacific coast. The team looked at the ...

When environments change again and again, evolution surprises—and one population doesn’t reveal a whole species ...

A powerful future earthquake, coupled with climate-driven surges in sea levels, could significantly increase flood risks in the Pacific Northwest, a study has found. These conditions could impact ...

Human-caused climate change was responsible for about a quarter of the fuel available for the wildfires that have devastated the Los Angeles area, according to research from University of California, ...
