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
New approach needed to save Australia's non-perennial rivers | ScienceDaily
An extensive review of current research incorporating geomorphology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, ecology and Indigenous knowledges identifies prevailing factors that shape water and energy flows in Australia's non-perennial rivers -- but the review also points to research deficiencies that must be addressed if these river systems are to be preserved and protected.
Biodiversity supports grassland resistance and recovery under extreme drought | Journal of Ecology Blog
Manuele Bazzichetto discusses his article: ‘Biodiversity promotes resistance but dominant species shape recovery of grasslands under extreme drought.’ Background A hot idea in ecology is that biodiversity helps ecosystems do better. For instance, high biodiversity should help ecosystems to maintain their functions (e.g., biomass production) over time. In other words, biodiversity should stabilise ecosystem functions.…
A very brief interview with ecoevojobs.net organizer Anonymous Potato | Dynamic Ecology
ecoevojobs.net is the crowdsourced jobs board for faculty positions (and some other positions, such as postdocs) in ecology and evolution. It's a Google Sheet with various tabs. It's nearly comprehensive in its coverage of EEB faculty job listings in the US and Canada, and has many listings in other countries too. It's also a popular…

The landscape of fear in cattle farms? How the presence of barn swallow influences the activity of pest flies – The Applied Ecologist
Authors of a research article recently published in Journal of Applied Ecology talk us through how barn swallows are effective biological control agents for lowering pest fly activity in livestock farms. Preamble: Farmland birds, filth flies and the landscape of fear Birds are key suppliers of crucial ecosystem services worldwide, and insectivorous species can consume…
The nuts and bolts (and emotions!) of responding to reviewers | Dynamic Ecology
Almost 10 years ago, I wrote a post about writing a response to reviewer comments. It focused on the overall structure of a response to reviewers, with suggestions on what to include and how to address things like if reviewers disagree. That post – which I think is still relevant – focused on the response…
Understanding the success of invasive plants through community assembly | Journal of Ecology Blog
Urmi Poddar discusses her paper ‘Similar trait-based successional assembly in native and introduced plants despite species pool differences.’ A picture of the Buell-Small Succession Study site in 2005, showing in understory of mostly Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum). Photo credit: Scott Meiners. Background Invasive species are one of the major threats to biodiversity. These species tend…
