This image shows a bee approaching a white flower, with a superimposed warning sign featuring a skull and crossbones. The visual suggests the danger of toxic chemicals or pesticides present in flowering plants—an issue that poses serious threats to pollinators like bees. It’s a powerful representation of the hidden dangers bees face in agricultural and urban landscapes.

When Good Intentions Go Toxic: What Urban Wildflowers Are Hiding from Bees

A digitally composed image shows a prehistoric reptile—resembling an early crocodilian or basal archosaur—walking across a volcanic landscape. In the background, a volcano erupts dramatically, spewing lava and ash into the sky. The scene illustrates a time when ancient reptiles thrived amid extreme geological activity, hinting at the resilience and evolutionary success of early crocodile relatives.

Bonobos Talk Like Us? A New Study Says It’s Not That Far Off

A digitally edited satellite map of North and Central America shows a fiery asteroid hurtling toward the Yucatán Peninsula, representing the Chicxulub impact event that led to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. A cartoon T. rex roars near the impact site, and a trail of dinosaur footprints across the western U.S. hints at prehistoric migration or panic. The image creatively illustrates the dramatic moment that changed Earth’s history foreve

Why Tropical Field Stations Might Be Our Best Bet for Saving Biodiversity

A digitally edited image of a massive Antarctic iceberg floating in the ocean, with stormy clouds and distant mountains in the background. Superimposed on the iceberg is a cartoon-style pipe system, symbolizing the concept of “Antarctic plumbing”—possibly referring to the movement of meltwater beneath ice sheets or human-engineered solutions related to polar melt. The image blends natural elements with industrial symbolism

A digitally created image of a kelp forest underwater with clear blue water in the background. In the foreground, a large, stylized, monochrome illustration of a sea urchin shell is superimposed, contrasting with the natural colors of the kelp forest. The image visually represents the impact of sea urchins on marine ecosystems, highlighting their role in kelp forest decline and the need for conservation effort

How Overfishing Became a Conservation Strategy in Australia

A digitally edited image of a great white shark swimming in the ocean, framed through the fossilized jaws of a megalodon. The perspective emphasizes the massive size difference between the extinct megalodon and modern sharks. The background features a school of fish, adding depth to the underwater scene and reinforcing the contrast between past and present marine predators
