Research published in Ecology took a closer look into candy-striped spider’s behaviour and found that the result of their stealth attacks could have substantial impacts on ecosystems.
The greater amount of Japanese barberry growing on a property, the greater amount of Lyme disease-carrying ticks you are likely to have.
There’s a surprising and highly influential link between invasive earthworms, white-tailed deer and tree harvesting in northern forests, according to new research from the University of Minnesota.
When the sea ice vanishes, Antarctic seals become silent. This is the main conclusion of a new article just published by Dr Ilse van Opzeeland’s research group.
A University of Oregon ecologist has been awarded a fellowship from the Ecological Society of America for research and outreach that has proven her an exceptional leader.
by Folke Mehrtens, Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research April 17, 2023 Wenn das Meereis verschwindet, verstummen antarktische Robben. Das ist das Ergebnis eines Fachartikels, den eine Gruppe um Dr. Ilse van Opzeeland jetzt veröffentlicht hat. Die Biologin forscht am Alfred-Wegener-Institut, Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI) und am Helmholtz-Institut für Funktionelle Marine Biodiversität an der…
Current SW CASC Natural Resource Workforce Development Fellow (NRWD), Elijah Catalan, was recently named a 2023 Katherine S. McCarter Graduate Student Policy Award recipient from the Ecological Society of America.
Jim Bever, University of Kansas Foundation Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and a senior scientist at the Kansas Biological Survey & Center for Ecological Research, is one of seven scientists across the U.S. who have been named fellows of ESA this year.
Two University of Michigan faculty members have been chosen as 2023 Fellows of the Ecological Society of America, the world’s largest community of professional ecologists.
New research examines grassland natural restoration following two consecutive years of extreme drought manipulation, and explores the carry-over effects of the extreme drought event on plant community structure and function.
Researchers have pinpointed the biggest threats to the only population of rare, endangered mule ear orchids in the U.S.
The iconic yet endangered Amami rabbit has been shown to play a key role in seed dispersal for the non-photosynthetic plant Balanophora yuwanensis.
A camera-trap study of two ecosystems – one with pumas and one without – adds to scientists’ understanding of the many ways apex predators influence the abundance, diversity and habits of other animals, including smaller carnivores.
New research has identified North America’s climate change refugia, habitats that will be the most likely to support the persistence of the greatest amount of biodiversity in the face of a changing climate.
When an outbreak of sylvatic plague decimated black-tailed prairie dog numbers in the Thunder Basin National Grassland in 2017, researchers saw an opportunity for a “natural experiment” to explore the impact of the rodents’ die-off on the plants and other wildlife in that area of northeast Wyoming.
Wageningen researchers have discovered how turtles change their grazing behaviour when they feel safe, and as a result increase their grazing pressure on seagrass meadows.
Comparing the genetics and relocation patterns of habitat “haves” and “have-nots” among two populations of threatened rattlesnakes has produced a new way to use scientific landscape data to guide conservation planning that would give the “have-nots” a better chance of surviving.
In a paper recently published in the journal Ecosphere, McCullough and a team of researchers evaluated the current capacity of freshwater networks in the lower 48 states to act as natural highways for freshwater wildlife.
A multidisciplinary historical ecology research carried out in Pollino National Park reveals that rewilding processes have contributed to the conservation and local expansion of the relic mixed beech-fir forest during the last thousand years.
A team from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Hamburg Authorities for the Environment, Climate, Energy and Agriculture has now shown how research can benefit from this historic habitat mapping data using habitat maps of the city and federal state of Hamburg as an example.
