New study shows predators affect the carbon cycle
A new study shows that the predator-prey relationship can affect the flow of carbon through an ecosystem. View More (2013-06-18)
Drought, river fragmentation forcing endangered fish out of water, biologist finds
A Kansas State University researcher is discovering that the North American drought has caused dramatic changes in native fish communities. View More (2013-06-10)
Large-scale biodiversity is vital to maintain ecosystem health
Over the years ecologists have shown how biological diversity benefits the health of small, natural communities. View More (2013-06-10)
The Science of Yellow Snow: White-tailed Deer may be Ruining their own Winter Havens
New research from wildlife ecologists at Michigan Technological University indicates that white-tailed deer may be making the soil in their preferred winter homes unfit to grow the very trees that protect them there. View More (2013-06-05)
Hidden effects of climate change may threaten eelgrass meadows
Some research has shown that the effects of changes in the climate may be weak or even non-existent. This makes it easy to conclude that climate change will ultimately have less impact than previous warnings have predicted. View More (2013-06-04)
Even farm animal diversity is declining as accelerating species loss threatens humanity
The accelerating disappearance of Earth's species of both wild and domesticated plants and animals constitutes a fundamental threat to the well-being and even the survival of humankind, warns the founding Chair of a new global organization created to narrow the gulf between leading international biodiversity scientists and national policy-makers.

Reforestation study shows trade-offs between water, carbon and timber
More than 13,000 ships per year, carrying more than 284 million tons of cargo, transit the Panama Canal each year, generating roughly $1.8 billion dollars in toll fees for the Panama Canal Authority. View More (2013-05-24)
Why we need to put the fish back into fisheries
Overfishing has reduced fish populations and biodiversity across much of the world's oceans. In response, fisheries are increasingly reliant on a handful of highly valuable shellfish. View More (2013-05-20)
Invasive crazy ants are displacing fire ants in areas throughout southeastern US
Invasive "crazy ants" are displacing fire ants in areas across the southeastern United States, according to researchers at The University of Texas at Austin. It's the latest in a history of ant invasions from the southern hemisphere and may prove to have dramatic effects on the ecosystem of the region. View More (2013-05-17)
Clam fossils divulge secrets of ecologic stability
Clam fossils from the middle Devonian era - some 380 million years ago - now yield a better paleontological picture of the capacity of ecosystems to remain stable in the face of environmental change, according to research published May 15 in the online journal PLOS ONE. View More (2013-05-16)
Revealing hidden fungal species using DNA: The importance of recognizing cryptic diversity
Our ability to assess biological diversity, ecosystem health, ecological interactions, and a wide range of other important processes is largely dependent on accurately recognizing species. View More (2013-05-13)
Land management options outlined to address cheatgrass invasion
A new study suggests that overgrazing and other factors increase the severity of cheatgrass invasion in sagebrush steppe, one of North America's most endangered ecosystems. View More (2013-05-13)
Earth Day: Big Ecosystem Changes Viewed Through the Lens of Tiny Carnivorous Plants
What do a pond or a lake and a carnivorous pitcher plant have in common? View More (2013-04-24)
Tiny colorful snails are in danger of extinction with vanishing limestone ecosystems
Researchers from Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok and the Natural History Museum, London (Thanit Siriboon, Chirasak Sutcharit, Fred Naggs and Somsak Panha) discovered many new taxa of the brightly coloured carnivorous terrestrial snails family Streptaxidae. View More (2013-04-16)
'Sustainable fishing' certification too lenient and discretionary, study finds
The certification of seafood as "sustainable" by the nonprofit Marine Stewardship Council is too lenient and discretionary, a study by a consortium of researchers has found. View More (2013-04-11)
Scientists stress need for national marine biodiversity observation network
With ocean life facing unprecedented threat from climate change, overfishing, pollution, invasive species and habitat destruction, a University of Florida researcher is helping coordinate national efforts to monitor marine biodiversity. View More (2013-04-11)
Streams stressed by pharmaceutical pollution
Pharmaceuticals commonly found in the environment are disrupting streams, with unknown impacts on aquatic life and water quality. View More (2013-04-01)
Other stomach microbiota modulate resistance to H. pylori-driven ulcers
Mice with different naturally occurring stomach bacteria have distinct susceptibilities to disease caused by Helicobacter pylori, the well-known cause of ulcers in humans. View More (2013-03-26)
'Dirty blizzard' in Gulf may account for missing Deepwater Horizon oil
Oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill acted as a catalyst for plankton and other surface materials to clump together and fall to the sea floor in a massive sedimentation event that researchers are calling a "dirty blizzard." View More (2013-03-18)
UEA research reveals catastrophic loss of Cambodia's tropical flooded grasslands
The seasonally flooded grasslands around the Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, are of great importance for biodiversity and a refuge for 11 globally-threatened bird species. They are also a vital fishing, grazing, and traditional rice farming resource for around 1.1 million people. View More (2013-03-18)
