Scientists have created a tool based on the habitat preferences of the black-backed woodpecker to help forest managers make decisions that promote regrowth and biodiversity following wildfires.
New research, recently published in the journal Ecology, shows that in northern forests, the presence of deer substantially increased the number of earthworms.
In a study published online April 26 in the journal Ecology, a University of Michigan-led research team used a pint-sized predator-prey-parasite system inside 20-gallon water tanks to test the ‘healthy herds hypothesis.’
To learn more about the causes of recent seismic shifts in insect populations, scientists at Davidson College and Catawba College collaborated on a three-year research project with more than 50 other scientists to examine the impact of temperature variation on insects in North America. The research was published in the scientific journal Ecology in late March.
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.
