A special issue of the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment lays the foundation for pursuing structural diversity as a new research direction in ecology.
A recent study looked at how bison reintroduction at Nachusa Grasslands — a 3,800-acre nature preserve in Franklin Grove, Illinois — has impacted the way small mammals respond to moonlight.
New research shows how humans are a substantial source of mortality for wolves that live predominantly in national parks — and more importantly, that human-caused mortality triggers instability in wolf packs in national parks.
Research supported by the Northeast CASC, and recently published in Ecological Applications, has shed light on the knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to effectively manage invasive species.
The best time to deal with diseases in marine species is before an outbreak occurs, a study by Oregon State University shows.
