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
Also this week: the phylogenetics of geometry, and more. Only a few links this week, but the average quality is higher than usual. Jessica Hullman points us to an old paper by Tukey and Cornfield on "the two spans of statistical inference." This is a very good metaphor for the role of statistics in solving…
A joint project between RWE, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, and Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg is aimed at investigating the extent to which floating solar islands can be implemented and operated in harmony with aquatic ecology.
Carla Vázquez-González, University of California, Irvine & Misión Biológica de Galicia (CSIC), discusses her article: Testing the contribution of vertebrate predators and leaf traits to mainland-island differences in insect herbivory on oaks Insularity research on plant-herbivore interactions Islands have long fascinated evolutionary ecologists, beginning with the early observational studies of naturalists like Charles Darwin and…
Fernando T. Maestre, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology The Journal of Ecology Editors are delighted to announce that Fernando Maestre is our Eminent Ecologist award winner for 2024! In recognition of his work, we asked Fernando to put together a virtual issue of some of his favorite contributions to the journal. Fernando has also written this blog series, and was interviewed by…
A few years ago, I compiled data on the number of applicants for tenure-track ecology faculty positions in North America, and had some fun building an exploratory statistical model that predicted which jobs would get more applications. I did this just out of curiosity. The answer was basically that jobs at R1 unis, jobs in…

Research published in Nature Ecology & Evolution introduces a novel method for inferring DNA methylation patterns in non-skeletal tissues from ancient specimens, providing new insights into human evolution. As DNA methylation is a key marker of gene expression, this work allows scientists to explore changes in gene activity in the brain and other tissues that are typically absent from the fossil record.
