When wildfires burn up forests, they don’t just damage the trees. They destroy a key part of the global carbon cycle. Restoring those trees as quickly as possible could tip the scale in favor of mitigating severe climate change.

Combining solar panel (photovoltaic) infrastructure and agriculture can create a mutually beneficial relationship. This practice of co-locating the two by planting crops under the shade of solar panels is called agrivoltaics.

Pathogens attack invasive trees and native trees differently, even when the tree species are closely related, in the same genus.

Lionfish in Florida are an underwater force to be reckoned with. The biggest threat they pose is not their venomous spines – it is the alarming speed and ferocity with which they invade new waters.

ESA 2019 Preview: Human-induced land use change is the primary driver of EIDs, including those carried by mosquitoes such as malaria, dengue, Zika, EEE, and West Nile. Why, then, does land-use planning often fail to recognize the effects these changes have on the risk of spreading disease?

New research on damselflies in northern Africa suggests that females may facilitate the reproductive success of inferior males when their health is at risk.

The following selected sessions and events at the Annual Meeting delve into this year’s meeting theme.

In her new role, Cottingham will lead Ecology in publishing research articles from across the biological and ecological sciences.

“Pop-up parks” serve important conservation functions by providing small-scale habitat refuges in urban environments and deliver a suite of ecosystem services to urban residents and wildlife alike.

In a new study published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a team of researchers gain further insight into the dynamics of the exotic pet trade and the role it plays in the introduction of invasive vertebrate populations across the globe.
