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
In our 'Field Diaries' series, The Applied Ecologist is sharing stories from a range of different fieldwork experiences. In this post, Mohammad Javad Soltani shares their story visiting wetlands in Iran and studying them with remote sensing.

Ten years ago, Meghan posted on the Up Goer Five challenge: the challenge to explain your scientific research using only the 1000 most common words in English. The challenge is intended as a fun exercise that teaches scientists to de-jargonize their writing for a broad public audience. That post sparked a long and spicy comment…
The ways in which ecologists go about their research is changing. It always is. So it's always worth asking whether the coursework and other training that ecology grad students receive needs to change too. Just off the top of my head, here's a short list of things on which I think many ecology grad students…
Based on a comprehensive examination of chromatic reconstruction of 3,103 heritage buildings in Singapore, our study reveals the evolving nature of local color and argues for its preservation as an integral part of the city’s sociocultural ecology.
