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
It's all down to what they do about--and with--their nervousness. Public speaking makes many people nervous.* In my admittedly anecdotal experience, graduate students who are nervous about public speaking tend to assume that profs aren't. In fact, plenty of profs, including very experienced ones who give good talks, are nervous about public speaking!** That's because…
I really enjoy giving invited seminars, for all the usual reasons. It's very flattering to be invited, even if it's a friend inviting you. You get to meet new people and see a new place. You get to spend a couple of days basically doing nothing but talking about science and academia. You get taken…
This week: against overfitting (but probably not in the way you're thinking), new ecology group blog, absurd trolley problems, museum of internet artifacts, and more. The Aggregate is a new agroecology group blog to which anyone is welcome to submit a post. The mini-revival of the ecology blogosphere continues apace. The British Ecological Society is…
The existence of what I jokingly call MAPs (Massively-Authored-Papers) has been a reality in ecology for a few decades now. They are primarily the results of working and synthesis groups. A group of 10-30 people meet up a few times, build consensus, and produce a paper often with 10-30 authors. Love it or hate, this…
At last year's ESA meeting, I wondered "Where is everybody?" We had a good discussion in the comments of some people's reasons for no longer attending the ESA meeting. But it'd be nice to have a bigger sample. With the abstract deadline for ESA 2025 fast approaching, I thought I'd do a quick poll. Are…
“You can do it!” Those were the words a group of graduate students I had gone hiking with somewhere near Loch Lomond had said to me. Why, you wonder? Well, I had joined them on a 90-minute hike around the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment (SCENE), and those hills are not for…
