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

The best time to integrate mathematical modeling into ecology was a century ago. The second best time is right now. (updated) | Dynamic Ecology
AJ Lotka published Elements of Physical Biology in 1925. In it, he introduced what's now known as the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model into ecology. It's known as the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model, rather than the Lotka model, because Vito Volterra independently published the same model in 1926. Sharon Kingsland's Modeling Nature is a wonderful, readable history of…

Imagine spending a couple of years on a mountaintop with this Friday linkfest | Dynamic Ecology
This week: prehistoric psychopaths, book ban backfire, the light of an older heaven, whatever happened to genetic algorithms, the pros and cons of poaching, and more. Lots of good stuff this week, even though some of it is good stuff about bad stuff. A (pre)history of violence. Long, deeply researched, very interesting, but necessarily speculative.…
Heroes wanted: Science made mystical – Environmental News Bits
Read the full story at Smile Politely. Last Saturday, April 12th, I visited the Anita Purves Nature Center for an educational — and mystical — event all about ecology and combating invasive species. Heroes Wanted: A Special DnD-themed Science Event, as the name would suggest, was an opportunity to learn more about methods used by…
I still think that trait-based ecology needs population ecology | Dynamic Ecology
Eight years ago, I confessed--to my own embarrassment--that I was just not that into trait-based ecology, and tried to articulate why not. It came down to my sense that trait-based ecology had, up to that point, mostly tried (consciously?) to bypass population ecology. Trait-based ecology seemed to me like an attempt to go straight from…
Junghyuk Keum: Smart bird catches the worm – Functional Ecologists
In this week’s blog post, we delve into the intelligent mechanisms behind how and why the smart bird catches the worm! Author Junghyuk Keum gives us a glimpse into the Cognitive Buffer Hypothesis – a theory they used to explore seabird ecology in their recently published paper: "Does brain size matter? Linking cognitive and ecological…
