Experts have a simple answer: if we don't invest money into saving endangered species now,we will have to invest far more in the future. For example, if there are no bees, food will become way more expensive, and if vultures go extinct, cases of rabies and an increase in medical expen...

Fire strongly affects animals’ behavior, population dynamics, and environmental surroundings, which in turn are likely to affect their immune systems and exposure to pathogens. However, little work has yet been conducted on the effects of wildfires on w

Deadly outbreaks have plagued societies for centuries. But they can lead to medical breakthroughs—if we learn the right lessons from them.
A rabies epidemic might have caused wolves and dogs to bite humans, who then could have exhibited werewolf-like tendencies. Wolf hybrids: Healthy wolves don't generally attack people without provocation, but aggressive hybrids of wolves and dogs might have attacked villages, leading to the idea ...
