TODAY'S THE DAY!  Big Give, the UC Berkeley community's annual opportunity to give back to the departments and programs closest to their hearts.

Many of the birds that awaken us each morning learn their melodious songs the same way that humans learn a dialect — from parents and neighbors.

While frog and salamander declines worldwide have made scientists outspoken about the need to preserve amphibian genetic diversity, two University of California, Berkeley, biologists emphasize another important reason for conserving these animals: their poisons.

A new study by biologists from the University of California, Berkeley, and Missouri State University in Springfield, however, documents songs in East African sunbirds that have remained nearly unchanged for more than 500,000 years, and perhaps for as long as 1 million years, making the songs nearly indistinguishable from those of relatives from which they’ve long been separated.
