Unlocking the mysteries of the real Paddington bear Posted: 16 Jan 2015 10:46 AM PST WCS and partners in Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru have published four significant contributions towards the conservation of the real Paddington Bear -- the Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus).

Satellite telemetry tracks bearded vultures Posted: 16 Jan 2015 06:30 AM PST The Pyrenees are home to continental Europe's only wild population of bearded vultures, a species classified as endangered in Spain. A study compiled by Spanish researchers reveals -- in a level of detail until now unseen -- the size of the home range of this bird species using satellite tracking technologies.

Wild pollinators at risk from diseased commercial species of bee Posted: 16 Jan 2015 05:56 AM PST Viruses carried by commercial bees can jump to wild pollinator populations with potentially devastating effects. The researchers are calling for new measures to be introduced that will prevent the introduction of diseased pollinators into natural environments.

Endangered monkeys in the Amazon are more diverse than previously thought, study finds Posted: 13 Jan 2015 03:41 PM PST The hidden biodiversity among more than 150 species of monkeys in South America -- many of which are endangered -- has been uncovered by a large, international team of researchers. The scientists have resolved a dispute over whether a small population of black-headed squirrel monkeys (Saimiri vanzolinii), which are found only in an isolated part of Brazil, is a sub-species of another species or its own species.

Wastewater discharges into the Pacific affecting fish, marine mammals, humans Posted: 13 Jan 2015 06:03 AM PST Mexican wastewater discharges into the Pacific, and now a researcher has documents its effect and the growth of toxic microalgae.
