Marine Reserves Have Rapid and Lasting Effects - Benjamin S. Halpern & Robert R. Warner in ECOLOGY LETTERS
Marine reserves have rapid and lasting impacts on organisms inside reserves, according to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In a paper published in the current issue of ECOLOGY LETTERS, the researchers reviewed 80 studies from `no-take` reserves, where it is illegal to extract organisms in any way. These showed that... view more... (2002-05-21)
DNA research flies high with Seychelles kestrel
A new research project at the University of Kent is looking for genetic evidence of a historical population bottleneck in the Seychelles kestrel by analysing DNA extracted from museum specimens estimated to be 100-150 years old. Dr Jim Groombridge, Lecturer in Biodiversity Conservation at the University's Durrell Institute of Conservation and... view more... (2004-06-01)
Ocean temperature predicts spread of marine species
Scientists can predict how the distance marine larvae travel varies with ocean temperature - a key component in conservation and management of fish, shellfish and other marine species - according to a new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2006-12-26)
Dried mushrooms slow climate warming in Northern forests
The fight against climate warming has an unexpected ally in mushrooms growing in dry spruce forests covering Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and other northern regions, a new UC Irvine study finds. view more (2008-11-03)
A bright future with solar lanterns for India's poor
Solar energy has the potential to improve the living conditions of poor rural households in India as well as contribute to the country's future energy security, according to Professor Govindasamy Agoramoorthy from Tajen University, who is Tata-Sadguru Visiting Chair, and Dr. Minna Hsu from the National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan. view more (2009-04-28)
The effect of transgenic nematode resistance on non-target organisms in the potato rhizosphere
A paper published today in the December Issue of Journal of Applied Ecology by Cowgill et al describes the results of small-scale field trials that were used to assess the effect of PI-expressing potatoes on non-target soil organisms. The impact of a currently used PCN management option, the nematicide, aldicarb, on soil organisms was also studied. view more (2002-11-26)
WHAT FACTORS FAVOUR THE ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY OBSERVED IN ATOLL LAGOONS ?
The first step in the investigation was the mapping by remote sensing techniques of more than two-thirds of the 76 atolls of the Tuamotu archipelago. High resolution maps, which did not exist before, were then established. Using the cartographic data thus gleaned alongside morphometric parameters picked out (size and shape of the lagoons, degree... view more... (1999-04-14)
Chickadee, nutchatch presence in conifers increases tree growth, says CU-Boulder study
Chickadees, nuthatches and warblers foraging their way through forests have been shown to spur the growth of pine trees in the West by as much as one-third, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2007-08-02)
Study finds foul owls use feces to show they are in fine feather
Some years ago, within the Department of Conservation Biology of the Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas; Seville, Spain), a recently established group (colloquially named the Night Ecology Group) started to explore the possibility of visual communication in crepuscular and... view more...

Media invitation: Insects matter more than ever
Insects are a rapid reaction force. They evolve, whether following Darwin's ideas on natural selection or in response to changing circumstances, and the integral role they play in our world is changing too. Top scientists from across the globe are coming to Reading, Berkshire in July to share their research on how these changes affect our own... view more... (2003-07-09)
