An amateur mathematician just partially solved a problem that has vexed mathematicians since 1950.

Joe Papp, a biologist with Bloom Biological, tagged the eaglet in the nest atop a 120-foot-tall ponderosa and removed the other. Thousands watched the eagle chicks hatch earlier this year. Both eaglets – “Stormy” and “BBB,” the one who died – are male, the biologist found. The nest itself is about 5-6 feet ...

Off the Kohala coast on the Big Island of Hawaii, Christine Gabriele spots whale 875. The familiar propeller scar on its left side and the shape of its dorsal fin are like a telltale fingerprint. Gabriele, a marine biologist with the Hawaii Marine Mammal Consortium, confirms the whale's identity against her ...

Eugene Water and Electric Board is partnering with biologists all around the state to try and find a way to save Lampreys, an eel-like species that is important to rivers all around the Pacific Northwest.

This Incredibly Rare Deep-Sea Video of Mating Anglerfish Is Stunning Biologists. We can't stop watching this. JACINTA BOWLER. 23 MAR 2018. Anglerfish are weird and mysterious creatures. They live hundreds of metres below sea level, and we have very few specimens of these bizarre animals. Even fewer have been ...

Anglerfish, with their menacing gape and dangling lure, are among the most curious inhabitants of the deep ocean. Scientists have hardly ever seen them alive in their natural environment. That's why a new video, captured in the waters around Portugal's Azores islands, has stunned deep-sea biologists.

The state biologists tracked the bear to a remote hill near the Pennsylvania border – about a 20-minute drive from Olean – where she was denning for the winter with her three male cubs. “I'd say she picked a great spot,” said Ryan Rockefeller, a wildlife biologist for the state Department of Environmental ...

"In order for a protein called CTCF to make loops in the DNA, we discovered that it needs to have hemimethylated DNA close by," says Emory biologist Victor Corces, whose lab conducted the research. "Nobody had previously seen that hemimethylated DNA has a function." Chromatin is made up of CTCF ...

"What happens if the environment is harsher? Is it going to change the way mutations occur, or are they going to kill more of the cells or less of the cells?" Already, what the researchers have observed so far confirms a lot of the core thinking that goes into evolutionary biology, says Richard Lenski, a biologist ...

Field Biologist ... This project is looking for long-term field biologists for a Leatherback sea turtle monitoring program. Field biologists assist with tagging and measuring nesting turtles, monitor nests in the hatchery, and other tasks. Applications are invited from early May to June, 2018. Excellent opportunity ...

Biologists are ramping up roadkill surveys for the next month and are asking all Arkansans to report any dead deer they see along roads and highways. Road-killed deer offer biologists a chance to monitor for chronic wasting disease throughout the state without the need to kill deer to obtain samples.

A second sea turtle also came up on Juno Beach, but she did not successfully lay her eggs. Because the tide has been very high and rough the past few days, there is a lack of dry beach available. This may have caused the second turtle to abandon the nesting attempt. Biologists said the turtle will likely try ...

The estimated number of moose currently found in New York State is down from what was previously thought, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the herd size is decreasing, a state wildlife biologist said this week. Jeremy Hurst, Big Game Unit leader for the state Department of Environmental ...

The city has 300,000 people, but the moose population is unknown. Though hunting is not allowed in most of the city, biologists want to know how many moose move in and out of hunting areas.
