A thorough understanding of movement patterns of a species is critical for designing effective conservation and management initiatives. However, generating such information for large marine vertebrates is challenging, as they typically move over long distances, live in concealing environments, are logistically difficult to capture and, as upper-trophic predators, are naturally …

A new species of boa constrictor has been discovered on a remote island in the Bahamas. Scientists identified 20 of the metre-long snakes during two expeditions to the Caribbean islands, the second made in October last year. One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by slithering on to the …
Hurricane Sandy pounded the Bahamas with battering winds and rain on Friday, sweeping over the island chain after killing 21 people across the Caribbean and posing a menacing threat to the U.S. East Coast. Forecasters warned the late-season storm is expected to combine with a polar air mass near the …
Tropical Storm Bret formed north of the Bahamas on Sunday and was expected to drench the northernmost islands before curving out into the open Atlantic, forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Bret was not expected to strengthen into a hurricane, nor was it forecast to threaten the U.S. …
studying a half-metre-long stalagmite recovered from a now submerged cave in the Bahamas has shown that there were dramatic changes in the amount of radioactive carbon swirling around in the Earth's atmosphere during the last Ice Age. The changes were far greater than previously believed. The findings serve a warning …
Twenty years ago, evolutionary biologists transplanted small poplations of Anolis sagrei lizards from Staniel Cay in the Bahamas to several nearby islands, in the hope that the reptiles would go extinct. Instead, the small brown lizards flourished even though their new homes differed dramatically from their original island. Resear- chers …
