Researchers discovered a new species of frog in Africa that has an unusual trait: it’s completely silent. The Ukaguru spiny-throated reed frog does not croak, sing or ribbit. Found in Tanzania’s Ukaguru Mountains for which it is named, Hyperolius ukagu…

Biologists explored how symbiotic relationships between species evolve to become specific or general, cooperative or antagonistic.

Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help control Earth’s climate over thousands of years — like a thermostat — through a process called weathering. A new study may improve our understanding of how this thermostat responds as temperatures change.

Something you maybe never thought of — dolphins get kidney stones just like people! Now a researcher is reporting a new method to control the growth of ammonium urate crystals, the substance known to cause kidney stones in dolphins and the findings ma…

Humans continue to amplify global warming by emitting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. A new study reveals that an ocean animal called a salp plays an outsize role in damping the impacts of this greenhouse gas by pumpin…

A new study finds that higher neighborhood walkability is associated with lower risk of gestational diabetes (GD).

Snakes and mice don’t look alike. But much of what we know about skin coloration and patterning in vertebrates generally, including in snakes, is based on lab mice. However, there are limits to what mice can tell us about other vertebrates because they…

Non-erupting volcanoes leak a surprisingly high amount of sulfur-containing gases. A Greenland ice core shows that volcanoes quietly release at least three times as much sulfur into the Arctic atmosphere than estimated by current climate models. Aeroso…
