New research suggests that bird vocalizations may follow hidden rules similar to those that govern human language.

A new study on chimpanzees in Uganda and Côte d'Ivoire supports a theory that humans may have inherited a taste for alcohol from primate ancestors.

Northern resident killer whales appear to use dolphins as ‘scouts’, in a surprising cooperative hunting strategy

Shorter food chains could mean reefs are less able to weather changes in food availability, threatening an already vulnerable ecosystem.
