It may seem counterintuitive, but new research shows that observations taken from a great distance, even from orbit, may allow researchers to zoom in on martian microhabitats for the tiniest forms of ...

The spectacular variety of colours and patterns that butterflies use to ward off potential predators may result from highly localised environmental conditions known as "microhabitats", researchers ...

In this study we describe for the first time aspects of the reproductive ecology and behavior of a population of Hyalinobatrachium aureoguttatum located in the Colombian Pacific lowlands. Males ...

As temperatures increase worldwide due to anthropogenic climate change, scientists are scrambling to figure out if species will be able to survive rapidly warming ecosystems. A new study in Global ...

Lake Tisza (Kisköre Reservoir) is the second largest standing water in Hungary and in the Carpathian Basin. As part of both national protection and the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, the ...

Giant Australian cuttlefish employ night camouflage to adapt quickly to a variety of microhabitats on temperate rock reefs. The research sheds light on the animal's remarkable visual system and ...

1 Spatial patterns of seedling establishment have been shown to be largely affected by differences at the microhabitat scale. However, it is far from clear whether such differences are consistent both ...

I walk in the foothills above Salt Lake City every week. With a biologist’s eye, I observe wildlife and watch the seasons unfold. Bicyclists are unfailingly polite and we have shared the trails for ...

An international team of researchers has found extremely small habitats that increase the potential for life on other planets while offering a way to clean up oil spills on our own. Looking at samples ...

Anna: Habitats are all around us. A habitat is where animals and plants live and get everything they need to survive. Like food, water and shelter. Some habitats are really big, like rainforests! The ...
