Pringle set out to determine animal diets down to a granular level using a revolutionary technique called DNA metabarcoding.

Elephants without tusks were left alone by hunters, leading to an increased likelihood they would breed and pass on the tuskless trait to their offspring.

The first “Dare to Venture” video introduces four Princeton voices, one of which is Robert Pringle, PI of the Pringle Lab

Research on past conflicts suggests that the war in Ukraine could have a profound environmental impact.

Each lecture, Pringle attempts to teach from a different part of his yard.

If you give these systems a little bit of space and breathing room, we are discovering they are actually very good at repairing themselves.

Ivory poaching over decades has led to the evolution of tuskless elephants, researchers have found, proving that humans are “literally changing the anatomy” of wild animals.

As Gorongosa’s carnivores return, scientists hope to find out what happens when apex predators are unleashed in an environment that has adapted to life without them.

Invasive species can dramatically reshape environments and cause extinction.

Justine Atkins and her collaborators show that there is now a population of bushbuck in Gorongosa that prefer to graze in the open, instead of the forest

At Gorongosa National Park, scarred by civil war, scientists are answering fundamental questions about ecology and evolution, and how wildlife recovers from devastation.

Wildlife, not just people, suffer long-term damage during civil conflicts.

Over decades, armed conflict has reduced animal populations in Africa more than any other factor, according to new research.

Conflict’s other casualties: when humans fight, animals suffer too

“Everyone was focusing on the circles and not what was happening in between them,” said Robert M. Pringle, an ecologist at Princeton and another author on the paper.

One of nature's most puzzling spectacles - the "fairy circles" of Namibia - may have been explained by a new scientific theory.

No one is certain what causes the enigmatic “fairy circles” of the Namib Desert.

Earth is in the midst of a human-driven “mass extinction” spasm on the scale of past mass die-offs triggered by geophysical calamities.

How is it possible that so many large herbivores coexist in Africa? That incredible diversity is possible because each species has a distinct diet, a Pringle Lab study concludes.

Termite mounds may serve as oases in the desert, allowing the plants that surround them to persist on a fraction of the annual rainfall otherwise required and to bounce back after a withering drought.
