The expansion of exotic red lionfish into the western Atlantic may be explained by their tolerance of cooler waters, according to a new study

The new generation of conservation areas, protected or not, must fully integrate communities and provide a diverse portfolio of livelihoods and land use if they are to work.

The first investigation into epiphyte diversity, distribution and biomass on large canopy trees in Honduras has begun to reveal just how diverse these communities are

Some of Ireland’s oldest inhabitants are facing serious threat and possible extinction because of alien invasive species.

A new study investigating what motivates people to conserve other species – and offer up their time voluntarily to help achieve this – reveals that empathy and guilt drive the behaviour.

A study into tarsiers on Buton Island, Sulawesi, shows that, counter-intuitively, they favour disturbed habitats over areas that have been least affected by human impact, particularly when choosing their sleeping sites

A study into epiphytic ferns in Northern Venezuela suggests that, with low levels of effort, time and cost, these species can be monitored and used as indicators of disturbance in cloud forest management
