In this video, I created a fully functional lake ecosystem on my desk, documenting the process of building it. The video ...

Decades of overfishing, together with nutrient pollution, rapid increase in hypoxia, ocean warming and acidification have put fish and harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the western Baltic Sea at ...

Approximately 8,000 small fish were released on Saturday at Glenview’s The Glen at Gallery Park during the Lake Glenview Fish Release Day event. Organizers were prepared to welcome 600 people based on ...

Biodiversity is declining rapidly. Many conservation actions focus on single species. An alternative approach is to comprehensively improve ecological processes and habitats, thereby supporting entire ...

Off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica sits a deep-sea chimera of an ecosystem. Jacó Scar is a methane seep, where the gas escapes from sediment into the seawater, but the seep isn’t cold like the others ...

A new study suggests that targeted fish removals (TFRs) could help address this challenge. By selectively removing certain ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The ocean is massive and covers most of the surface of our planet. In addition to its size, it's packed with life, ranging from an ...

Nature protection, conservation and restoration is “not a trivial matter but key to human survival,” according to scientists quoted in a 2005 UN report. To demonstrate this, they developed the concept ...

While it may seem counterintuitive, fish can suffocate in the water. They rely on the oxygen (specifically, dissolved oxygen) in the water, rather than the water itself, to breathe. Fluctuating oxygen ...

The first ecosystem model that covers the complete food web of the western Baltic Sea predicts how marine life in the region would react to different fisheries scenarios and additional human-induced ...

The ocean is massive and covers most of the surface of our planet. In addition to its size, it’s packed with life, ranging from an astounding diversity of plants, microbes, worms, corals and crabs to ...
