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
Functional traits are important predictors of tree growth but their effects vary with age and leaf habit. |
Mégane Déziel, Université du Québec à Montréal, discusses her article: Resolving the Effects of Functional Traits on Tree Growth Rates: The Influence of Temporal Dynamics and Divergent Strategies by Leaf Habit Functional ecology has long assumed that variation in tree growth reflects differences in functional traits, which serve as proxies for resource acquisition and investment…
What would you like to know about the North American ecology faculty job market, that my previous data doesn’t address? | Dynamic Ecology
As most readers will know, I spent several years collecting a lot of data on the ecology faculty job market in North America. I stopped because it got boring. The data came out the same every year. Even the pandemic didn't change things, except for the number of positions on offer and possibly the number…
Poll on geographically restricted job searches by people previously or currently on the North American ecology faculty job market | Dynamic Ecology
My recent poll didn't get many responses, but among the respondents so far it seems like there's some interest in data on the geographic mobility of ecology faculty job seekers. So let's start to compile a bit of data on that. If you're currently on, or have ever been on, the market for tenure-track ecology…
Our October issue is out now! – Methods Blog
This issue contains the latest methods in ecology and evolution. Read to find out about this month’s featured articles and the article behind our cover! Featured Advancing causal inference in ecology: Pathways for biodiversity change detection and attribution Here, authors address key challenges of biodiversity change detection and conservative causal attribution and propose solutions to overcome barriers in (1) biodiversity and driver data…
Fungi may have set the stage for life on land hundreds of millions of years earlier than thought
New research published in Nature Ecology & Evolution sheds light on the timelines and pathways of evolution of fungi, finding evidence of their influence on ancient terrestrial ecosystems. The study, led by researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and collaborators, indicates the diversification of fungi hundreds of millions of years before the emergence of land plants.
I updated my crude analysis asking whether the pandemic reduced the number of EEB faculty job seekers and/or the number of jobs they’re applying for | Dynamic Ecology
Last year I used data from ecoevojobs.net to do an admittedly crude analysis asking whether the pandemic reduced the number of EEB faculty job seekers and/or the number of jobs the typical job seeker applies for in a year. I've now updated the post with an additional year's worth of data, from the 2024-25 ecoevojobs.net…
Street smarts: how a hawk learned to use traffic signals to hunt more successfully – Environmental News Bits
Read the full story at Frontiers. Dr Vladimir Dinets, a research assistant professor at the University of Tennessee, is a zoologist who studies animal behavior, ecology, and conservation. As of 2025, he also teaches mathematics at Rudgers University. He is the author of a recently published Frontiers in Ethology article that documents the impressive adaptation…
Replacing Friday linkfests with AI is harder than it seems (UPDATED) | Dynamic Ecology
This week: the beatings cattle prods will continue until morale theoretical physics improves, LLMs vs. reproducibility, good annoyance, the past degrowth is never dead; it's not even past; accidental inventions, and more. How common is accidental invention? I was surprised that there seem to be some patterns here. Accidents are (somewhat) predictable! An important part…
Poll results: geographically restricted job searches by people on the North American ecology faculty job market | Dynamic Ecology
Recently I polled current and former ecology faculty job seekers in North America, asking some questions about whether, and how, their searches were geographically restricted. The results were very interesting! Here they are. Sample size and demographics: We got 134 respondents--thanks to everyone who responded! Obviously not a perfectly random or totally representative sample of…
