In 2002, Lundy began its rat-eradication project; puffins later rose from 13 in 2000 to 1,335, and more than 40,000 seabirds now nest on the island

Off the coast of southwest England, the small island of Lundy was once a textbook case of how invasive rats can devastate seabird colonies. By the late 1990s, puffin numbers had crashed to just 13 breeding pairs, and many other seabirds had abandoned the island altogether. In 2002, conservationists launched an ambitious rat-eradication project to … Read more

Meet Thorin Jonsson, the biologist who used 165-million-year-old insect wings to recreate the sounds of a Jurassic forest |

Millions of years ago, several species produced higher frequencies, just like the native leaf grasshopper. Image Credit: Thoris Jonsson/University of Graz Jurassic World was not silent. Around 165 million years ago, forests in present day Inner Mongolia were filled with the calls of insects communicating through sounds that ranged from low tones to frequencies beyond … Read more
