In a new study, University of Utah biologists found that mice at California monarch overwintering sites consume monarch butterflies.
A new nationwide analysis of 122 plans from 20 US cities, published today in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, found that many plans fail to explicitly define green infrastructure.
Habitat conservation can help buy time for heat-sensitive species in the face of climate change – but it might also leave them in a trap by preventing them from adapting in time, according to a new study recently published in the journal Ecology.
Research from a Texas A&M Galveston marine biologist shows mussel beds protect other species during hot days, highlighting the importance of protecting vulnerable habitats.

Some marine species can help protect others from climate change by shielding them from heat, according to a new study by a Texas A&M University at Galveston professor.
Forest restoration and the preservation of the spotted owl are not mutually exclusive, says a new paper published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
In a study published in Ecological Applications, scientists used the satellite images, along with field observations from 40 different pastures grazed over a period of 10 years, to predict the performance of cattle grazing in Eastern Colorado throughout the summer season.
A comparison of age, sex and geographic origin of a bat species killed at wind turbines and living conspecifics from nearby populations now reveals that juveniles are killed more frequently than adults compared to their proportion in local populations.
New research from The University of Toledo spotlights the urgent need for policymakers and environmental managers to adopt a variety of solutions to overuse of road salts to melt away snow and ice.
