Science is what we do when we want to understand how things in the universe work. It is a process of discovering facts and developing theories about how things work and interact with each other. Science is not just limited to the physical world, but also includes the study of human behavior and social interactions. We use scientific methods to study everything from the behavior of animals to the effects of various drugs on people. By using the scientific method, we are constantly learning new things about the world around us. Science is important because it allows us to understand our surroundings and make informed decisions about our lives. It helps us to find solutions to problems and make predictions about future events. Without science, we would be living in complete darkness, unaware of the incredible complexities of the universe around us.

Thierry Grandmont: Experimental stress in migration influences decision to breed or not – Functional Ecologists
In this new post, Thierry Grandmont—a Ph.D. candidate at Laval University, Quebec, Canda—discusses with us his recently accepted paper, “Should I breed or should I go? Manipulating individual state during migration influences breeding decisions in a long-lived bird species.” He talks about the link between breeding and migration, challenges (and opportunities!) of conducting research during…
Harbinger Issue #2 Launch Party, February 9 | Institute for Social Ecology
To celebrate finally launching the second online issue of Harbinger: a Journal of Social Ecology, we are hosting a launch party this Thursday, February 9, at 8pm Eastern time. We'll be joined by several of the authors to offer thoughts and take questions, and then we'll have an open discussion on race, white supremacy, and colonialism focused on the different essays in the issue. All are welcome to attend!
Loss of reptiles poses threat for small islands where humans may have caused extinctions -- ScienceDaily
A new examination of ancient and current species of reptiles conducted by paleobiologists reveals the serious impact of the disappearance of even a few species of reptiles in some island areas. The study has startling conclusions about how, on smaller islands in the Caribbean where human impact was greatest, extinctions have led to the loss of up to two-thirds of the supports for the ecosystem that native reptile species once provided there.
Thierry Grandmont: Le stress expérimental dans la migration influence la décision de se reproduire ou non – Functional Ecologists
Dans cette nouvelle publication, Thierry Grandmont, un étudiant au doctorat à l’Université Laval, discute de son article récemment accepté “Should I breed or should I go? Manipulating individual state during migration influences breeding decisions in a long-lived bird species”. Il discute du lien entre la reproduction et la migration, des défis (et opportunités!) d’effectuer de…
Long-term restoration of a biodiversity hotspot hinges on getting seeds to the right place at the right time -- ScienceDaily
New research shows that degraded savanna ecosystems can reap lasting benefits from a single seeding of native understory plants. Once a diverse understory of savanna plants became established, its long-term persistence was relatively unaffected by environmental factors -- with one exception. Higher temperatures during the height of the growing season were associated with poorer long-term survival among some species, indicating one threat posed by a warming climate.
A fossil fruit from California shows ancestors of coffee and potatoes survived cataclysm that killed the dinosaurs
The discovery of an 80-million-year-old fossil plant pushes back the known origins of lamiids to the Cretaceous, extending the record of nearly 40,000 species of flowering plants including modern-day ...
