In 1995, 14 wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone to heal a damaged ecosystem; decades later, researchers are challenging one of the most celebrated predator stories in American ecologyYellowstone's wolf reintroduction success story faces a scientific challenge. New analysis suggests the dramatic impact on willow growth wa...
Project Hail Mary is real? Scientists discover vast underground fungal network spanning 110 quadrillion kilometresA massive underground fungal network, stretching billions of times to the Sun and back, has been mapped. This hidden web connects plants, s...
18 koalas moved to Kangaroo Island in the 1920s; a century on, 27,000 descendants are stripping eucalyptus bare and risk mass starvationKoalas are overpopulating in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges. This boom threatens eucalyptus forests, their food source. Scientists pr...
A 15-year-old from Ontario built a bionic underwater “robot turtle” that detects what is quietly killing our seas and just won $50,000 for itA young innovator has created BURT, a robotic turtle that moves quietly underwater. This AI-powered machine mimics natural swimming to obse...
