Archaeologists uncover 7,000-year-old fish traps that rewrite the story of life before farming in Scandinavia

Long before crops were planted or livestock were kept, people living in what is now southern Norway were already making lasting changes to the natural world around them.

In 1921, an eel-like parasite reached Lake Erie through a shipping canal, then latched onto native fish, fed on their blood, and helped collapse Great Lakes fisheries

Invasive sea lampreys, introduced via a shipping canal, caused severe damage to Great Lakes fish populations. These jawless, eel-like parasites attached to native fish, feeding on blood and bodily fluids for weeks. Many host fish died from blood loss or infections, impacting dominant predators like lake trout. Commercial fisheries faced…

Britain’s volunteers are removing rats, clearing invasive weeds and placing plastic puffins on empty cliffs to bring real puffins back to lost colonies

Puffins look like they belong on a postcard, with brightly coloured beaks, comical waddling walks, tucked into dramatic clifftop burrows. Behind that cheerful image, however, puffin colonies across Britain and Ireland have spent decades in serious decline, driven out of their traditional nesting grounds by invasive rats, overgrown vegetation and…

In the early 1900s, prickly pear spread over 20 million hectares in Queensland, threatening ecosystems with its rapid growth of 1,000 hectares daily

An introduced cactus became an environmental disaster across Australia's landscapes. Governments tried many measures, but nothing effectively stopped the prickly pear's spread. Scientists then introduced a South American moth, Cactoblastis cactorum, as a biological control agent. This moth's larvae destroyed the invasive cactus, returning millions of hectares of land. The…

Invasive fish do far more than eat native species; a review of 149 studies finds they can shift clear lakes into murky, nutrient-rich water that may be hard to restore

Invasive fish species are altering freshwater ecosystems by disturbing lakebeds. This disturbance releases nutrients, causing uncontrollable algae blooms that block sunlight. Native plants die, removing natural filtration and sediment stability from the water. Restoring these damaged lakes requires long-term interventions and careful biosecurity policies. Understanding these interconnected freshwater systems is…

US wildlife managers allowed targeted removal of sea lions after they learned to ambush threatened salmon below dams, forcing officials to balance marine mammal protection with fish recovery

California sea lions prey on endangered salmon at Bonneville Dam, creating a conservation conflict. Dams unintentionally concentrate migrating salmon, offering an easy hunting ground for marine mammals. Wildlife managers face difficult decisions balancing protected species under federal laws. Relocation efforts proved futile as sea lions repeatedly returned to the river.…

Heavy traffic turns flower-rich road verges into bumblebee traps, and in southern Sweden, scientists found dead bees outnumbered live ones at about 4,000 vehicles a day

Flower-covered roadsides attract bumblebees but become ecological traps with heavy traffic. A Swedish study found increased bumblebee mortality along busier roads. Nests were found near quieter roads offering similar floral resources safely. Conservation efforts should prioritize low-traffic roads for pollinator protection. Natural meadows remain the best habitats for bumblebee activity…

Britain hunted beavers to extinction around 400 years ago, but they are now returning to England's wetlands to rebuild rivers and restore disappearing ecosystems

For generations, the sound of a beaver working along an English waterway was something found only in history books. The animals that once shaped rivers and wetlands across Britain disappeared after centuries of hunting, leaving behind only traces of their former presence. Now, a new chapter has begun in Dorset,…
