Recent research has discovered that many animal species can indeed detect electricity when it is relevant to their natural ecology. We call this "aerial electroreception." Bumblebees and hoverflies ...
Using a new large-scale data archive of animal movement studies, an international team including University of Maryland biologists found that animals are responding in unexpected ways to climate ...
Animal movement ecology seeks to understand why, how and where animals move across landscapes and seascapes, integrating behavioural, physiological and environmental drivers. Biotelemetry techniques ...
Every few years, snowshoe hare numbers in the Canadian Yukon climb to a peak. As hare populations increase, so do those of their predators: lynx and coyotes. Then the hare population plummets, and ...
GPS tracking reveals that individual habits, not competition, determine how Yellowstone's grazers share the land.

Designing roads with wildlife in mind is an idea whose time hasn’t come soon enough: nearly a million animals are killed on roads every day, just in the U.S., and this sobering statistic is very ...
Biologists developed a data archive of animal movement studies from across the global Arctic and sub-Arctic and conducted three case studies that revealed surprising patterns and associations between ...
