Scientists, including ones from the University of Washington, have created the first-ever framework for increasing the comparability of research findings on coral bleaching by using common language and reference points to increase collaboration and efficiency.
Ein internationales Konsortium von Forschenden mit Beteiligung des Leibniz-Zentrums für Marine Tropenforschung (ZMT) hat nun den ersten gemeinsamen Handlungsrahmen geschaffen, um Forschungsergebnisse zur Korallenbleiche besser vergleichen zu können und so wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zu beschleunigen. Die daraus resultierenden Empfehlungen sind jetzt in der Fachzeitschrift Ecological Applications erschienen.
An international consortium of scientists, including Penn State researchers, has created the first-ever common framework for increasing comparability of research findings on coral bleaching.
A new common framework developed by a team of top scientists will help research into climate-threatened ocean reefs around the world.
An international consortium of scientists has created the first-ever common framework for increasing comparability of research findings on coral bleaching. The guidelines were published in Ecological Applications.
Research on tree swallows suggests city living may offer advantages, but not without risks.
A study published in Ecological Applications suggests that nature around one’s home may help mitigate some of the negative mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Long-term biodiversity data from 12 immense forest study plots spanning 1,500 miles point to maple trees – long appreciated for their autumn foliage and the syrup that graces our tables – as potential foundation species in both China and North America.
Groundbreaking research conducted by Dr. Kevin Stokesbury of SMAST appears as this month’s cover story in the Ecological Society of America’s journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
Agriculture is eating into areas that are important in protecting some of the most biologically diverse places on the planet. Most of this new agricultural land is being used to grow cattle feed.
New research shows the glaring light in human-altered landscapes, such as livestock pastures and crop fields, can act as a barrier to big-eyed birds, potentially contributing to their decline.
Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory developed a predictive framework of ecological indicators and analyses for estuarine–tidal river research and management.
New research from Portland State University found that while increased wildfire activity is causing widespread changes in the structure and composition of Pacific Northwest forests, the new landscapes are likely to be more resilient to projected upward trends in future fire activity and climate conditions.
Researchers from Simon Fraser University’s Salmon Watershed Lab have found when salmon returns are high, smaller and less dominant fishes get a chance to feast on their eggs.
A team of researchers led by Imperial College London and the National University of Singapore studied 19 streams in Borneo, in an area with a variety of land uses, and found that top predators were disproportionally affected by deforestation, with fewer predator links in the food chain in oil palm plantation streams.
Biology graduate student Alexandra Gulick, with co-authors from the National Park Service and the UF Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research, recently published a paper in Ecology. Results of the study show that grazing by recovering green turtle populations stimulates seagrass productivity, and that grazing intensity has a relevant role in regulating the productivity of Caribbean seagrass meadows.
Assistant Professor Scott Stark in the Department of Forestry at Michigan State University is tackling a worldwide environmental concern: what’s happening in the Amazon?
Environmental conditions such as sea surface temperature and the occurrence of cold water upwelling events drive the structure of interaction networks in marine intertidal communities via their effects on species richness, according to new research.
Researchers from La Trobe University have found that, in the absence of natural predators such as bilbies, native scorpions are thriving in Australia’s damaged sandy landscape.
Researchers studying the chemical defenses of a neotropical shrub at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica have discovered 10 previously undocumented alkenylphenol compounds.
