The few living North Atlantic right whales are smaller than previous generations, and some show signs of severely stunted development.

Using drones and artificial intelligence to monitor large colonies of seabirds can be as effective as traditional on-the-ground methods while reducing costs, labor and the risk of human error, a new study finds.

Oceans — along with coastal people and marine species — are vulnerable, and good ocean governance is critical to protect these expanses from pollution, overfishing and climate change, to name just some of the threats.

Understanding how seed dispersal works and identifying threats to this mechanism are needed to preserve this critical ecosystem process for forest regrowth.

A new GPS-enabled study led by ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ scientists provides the first landscape-scale documentation of elephant movements across and between seven national parks in Gabon and helps answer not only the questions of where and when the animals move, but also why.

"The Invention and Consequences of Race" will be open to 300 students and include instruction from more than a dozen Duke faculty.

A study found that characteristics – like sex, habitat quality and human activity – affected elephant movement. Individual elephants consistently moved in different ways from each other, though, suggesting that they have personalities.
