A Yale-led study sheds light on how coral reefs became biodiversity hotspots.

The discovery of two new fish species in Alabama points to scientific methods that can help protect the Earth’s biodiversity.

A method developed by Yale scientists helps reveal how antibacterial agents interact with their host cells — a process that could boost a host of applications that benefit society.

Mountaintops contain many of the world’s most diverse clusters of butterfly species, according to a new study. But climate change may turn those habitats into traps.

Edwards, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the FAS, will serve as acting director of the Yale Peabody Museum while director David Skelly takes a one-year leave from his role to pursue research at Yale-Myers Forest.

A new study shows that the snail darter, a tiny fish that was the focus of a legal battle that gave teeth to the Endangered Species Act, is not a distinct species.

The Yale-based team, Map of Life Rapid Assessments, will use its prize money to expand its biodiversity work around the world.

What is there to be discovered at the intersection of fields as diverse as science, society, and culture? That's what Brandon Ogbunu, Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, is exploring in his research.

Brandon Ogbunu's public science writing earned him a 2024 Eric and Wendy Schmidt Award for Excellence in Science Communications.

Muñoz, whose work has shed light on evolutionary processes, has been named a 2024 MacArthur “genius” fellow.
