Ecologists drowning in 3.8 million photos teamed up with Google to test whether algorithms could replace the human eye. The animals didn't notice the difference.

A 15-year field experiment in Kenya reveals that dung beetles—and the ecosystem services they provide—collapse when elephants disappear, offering evidence of coextinction in the wild.

Scientists tap into Pavlov's experiment to show they can train mosquitoes to love the smell of DEET.

For decades, we've catalogued what we're losing to climate change. A sweeping new study offers something harder to find—evidence that one of the planet's most vital coastal ecosystems is actually winning.

A 12-year study in Cameroon found that habituating gorillas to researchers might help reduce poaching activity and offer a model for protecting endangered apes.

GPS collars and fitness-app traffic reveal that the Santa Cruz Mountains' pumas track human recreation patterns with surprising precision and adjust their lives accordingly—complicating old assumptions about "habituated" wildlife.

A new study offers rare evidence of how armed conflict reshapes wildlife behavior, with a few species moving toward human settlements rather than fleeing them—upending assumptions about animals in war zones.

Tying plastic bottles to gillnets cut dolphin deaths by nearly 90% in a new study, without reducing the fish catch.

On this week’s show: Researchers protect one owl species by hunting another, and we mark the 10th anniversary of Science Immunology

Scientists cracked the case of a single plastic cap using isotope chemistry and ocean current models, revealing how trash is turning into rafts for invasive species.
