Discover Latest #Ecology News, Articles and Videos with Contenting
Ecology is the study of the relationship between living things and their environment, including other organisms and their physical environment. Ecology covers a wide range of topics, including global warming, pollution, conservation, and the interplay between humans and the environment. News and articles about ecology can provide valuable information on these topics, and help people understand the importance of taking care of the environment. Here are some of the latest ecology news, articles and videos. 1. "The Climate Crisis Is Everywhere - What You Can Do" - This article from National Geographic explains the dangers of climate change, and what individuals can do to help reduce emissions and prevent further environmental damage. The article offers information on how to reduce energy use in the home, how to reduce plastic waste and how to support renewable energy sources. 2. "The Plastic Problem: What You Need to Know" - This article from The Guardian outlines the global plastic problem, and provides information on how individuals can reduce their plastic waste. The article discusses different types of plastic, how it affects the environment, and what steps people can take to reduce their impact. 3. "Climate Change and the Ocean: How It's Affecting Marine Life" - This article from Scientific American explains how climate change is impacting
Pollinator seed mixes are phenologically dissimilar to prairie remnants – Environmental News Bits
Zinnen, J., Chase, M. H., Charles, B., Harmon-Threatt, A., & Matthews, J. W. (2024). Pollinator seed mixes are phenologically dissimilar to prairie remnants. Restoration Ecology, n/a(n/a), e14352. https://doi.org/10.1111/rec.14352 Abstract Native seed mixes are widely available to create pollinator habitat. One approach to understand the efficacy of pollinator seed mixes is to compare them to species…
We should be taught what Friday linkfests sound like | Dynamic Ecology
This week: science in children's books, in praise of bureaucratic statistics, de-extinction, banshee murder, comment of the year (so far), and more. Why skyscrapers became glass boxes, the latest in what's become a little series of links around here. This link courtesy of ace commenter Shan Kothari. Seriously--click through and read Shan's comment! I love…

Brian Tokar's widely-acclaimed book, Earth for Sale, largely disappeared from circulation soon after its publisher, South End Press, went out of business in 2014. The entire book is available here for download for the first time.
Habitat Heterogeneity Through Time and Space | The Prairie Ecologist
Habitat heterogeneity is a fun jargon term within the fields of ecology and land stewardship. It’s a good one to know if you’re at a party trying to impress an ecologist. Although, to be honest, if you’re trying to impress an ecologist, going to a party is probably not the best way to start. You’d…
Is sublinear growth the skeleton key to all of ecology? Or even all of biology? Interview with Ian Hatton. | Dynamic Ecology
Welcome to our latest author interview post! Today's interview is with Ian Hatton, first author of Hatton et al. (2024) Science, "Diversity begets stability: sublinear growth and competitive coexistence across ecosystems." Hatton et al. (2024) first analyze time series data on the abundances of many different species, to show that estimated density-dependence is almost always…
How evolutionary adaptations enable a fruit fly to detect and thrive on toxic food sources
The ability to tolerate toxic substances can help animals find new food sources and thrive in certain ecological niches. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena have now discovered that the fruit fly Drosophila busckii has developed a tolerance to the toxic sulfur compound dimethyldisulfide (DMDS).
