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
Are you less than five years post-PhD, live in or are from the Global South, and looking to gain hands-on experience with an editorial board? Why not apply for the 2026 mentoring scheme with Journal of Applied Ecology! What does it involve? Since 2015, Journal of Applied Ecology has welcomed a small group of mentees with minimum editorial…
Our commenters are still the best! If you haven't been reading our comment threads recently, you missed: Rich Lenski on why his famous Long-Term Evolution Experiment hasn't inspired many imitators (although it has inspired a few). Erik Pedersen on how to run a lab exercise in which you have lab members read and discuss a…

Featured DeepDiveR—A software for deep learning estimation of palaeodiversity from fossil occurrences The incompleteness of the fossil record presents a barrier to estimating changes in biodiversity which standard statistical methods struggle…
Meerkats genetically adapt to a species-specific form of tuberculosis according to a long-term study by an international research team led by Ulm University. The scientists also found that climate change in the Kalahari Desert exerts additional selection pressure on the animals. The combination of infection pressure and climate change is putting meerkats under increasing evolutionary stress. The study's results have been published in Nature Ecology & Evolution.
Way back in 2021, I asked who or what is the "public face" of ecology. What defines "ecology" in the minds of the largest mass of people? University courses that cover ecology aren't the right answer. Most people don't take them, because most people either don't go to university, or go but don't take any…
This week: best math video ever, ecology book blogging, against averaging, how everything everywhere is going, and more. This is the greatest math (and abstract art) explainer video I've ever seen. I know it's an hour long, but drop whatever you're doing and watch it. So well done in terms the script, the narrative flow,…
