In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...

Animal movement and foraging have long captivated researchers striving to understand the underlying principles that drive how organisms search for and exploit resources. Contemporary studies reveal ...

Ankur Gupta receives funding from NSF (CBET - 2238412) and ACS Petroleum Research Fund (65836 - DNI9). A thought experiment can help visualize the challenge of achieving distinctive color patterns.

Young African lions (Panthera leo) on the road in Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa. When they leave their mothers, young male lions have to disperse to find new territories. To do this, they ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Patterns on animal skin, such as zebra stripes and poison frog color patches, serve various biological functions, including temperature ...

While humans whine over facing the impacts of global warming, poor voiceless beings often go unnoticed. As extreme quantities of greenhouse gases pilfer Earth’s ecosystem, half of the world’s 4,000 ...

A multidisciplinary research team recommends combining detailed data on human activities, infrastructure and animal ecosystems into a “dynamic human footprint” framework. The study explores the ...

The great migrations of animals across the African savannah or birds between hemispheres are dwarfed by the movement of humans, a new study has calculated. That’s a consequence of humans and ...

A thought experiment can help visualize the challenge of achieving distinctive color patterns. Imagine gently adding a drop of blue and red dye to a cup of water. The drops will slowly disperse ...
