The British Ecological Society could cease to exist within three years if income from its four journals stopped suddenly. Speaking in a major debate on open access scientific publishing at this year's British Ecological Society Annual Meeting, being held at Lancaster University on 7-9 September 2004, Dr Jill Lancaster of the University of... view more...

The Mediterranean connection: ecological effects of El Ni'ħo in the Northern hemisphere
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the El Ni'ħo/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are being increasingly acknowledged as major climatic sources of ecological variability. However, studies linking ecological processes to those oscillations have been conducted in geographic regions close to their centers of action, so their effects outside these... view more...

Hind wings help butterflies make swift turns to evade predators, study finds
New tires allow race cars to take tight turns at high speeds. Hind wings give moths and butterflies similar advantages: They are not necessary for basic flight but help these creatures take tight turns to evade predators. view more (2009-01-09)
Cheap love costs the Earth
Ecology and conservation biologist at the University of Leicester, Dr David Harper, who has conducted research for over 25 years at Lake Naivasha in Kenya, today warned that cut-price Valentine roses exported for sale in the UK were 'bleeding that country dry'. view more (2009-02-13)
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)
American carnivores evolved to avoid each other, new study suggests
How do the many carnivorous animals of the Americas avoid competing for the same lunch, or becoming each other's meal? view more (2009-03-10)
Neighbors from hell: Infanticide rife in guillemot colony
One of Britain's best-known species of seabird is increasingly attacking and killing unattended chicks from neighbouring nests due to food shortages. view more (2008-09-17)
Plants' internal clock can improve climate-change models
The ability of plants to tell the time, a mechanism common to all living beings, enables them to survive, grow and reproduce. view more (2009-07-06)
Scientists find formula to uncover our planet's past and help predict its future
Studies of climate evolution and the ecology of past-times are often hampered by lost information - lost variables needed to complete the picture have been long thought untraceable but scientists have created a formula which will fill in the gaps of our knowledge and will help predict the future. view more (2009-05-27)
Reversing ecology reveals ancient environments
From hair color to the ancestral line of parasitic bacteria, scientists can glean a lot from genes. But imagine if genes also revealed where you lived or who you spent time with. It turns out they do, if you know where and how to look. view more (2009-02-26)
Texas-sized tract of single-celled clones
A Rice University study of microbes from a Houston-area cow pasture has confirmed once again that everything is bigger in Texas, even the single-celled stuff. The tests revealed the first-ever report of a large, natural colony of amoebae clones -- a Texas-sized expanse measuring at least 12 meters across. view more (2009-03-12)
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...

U of Minnesota research reveals critical role of evolutionary processes in species coexistence
A team of researchers, led by the University of Minnesota, addressing long-standing conflicts in ecology and evolutionary science, has provided key directions for the future of community ecology. view more (2009-05-22)
Inuit are on the right track
Inuit trails are more than merely means to get from A to B. In reality, they represent a complex social network spanning the Canadian Arctic and are a distinctive aspect of the Inuit cultural identity. And what is remarkable is that the Inuit's vast geographic knowledge has been passed through many generations by oral means, without the use of... view more... (2009-02-05)
Desert woodrats switch one dietary poison for another
As the U.S. Southwest grew warmer between 18,700 and 10,000 years ago, juniper trees vanished from what is now the Mojave Desert, robbing woodrats of their favorite food. view more (2009-04-08)
California's Ancient Kelp Forest
The kelp forests off southern California are considered to be some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet a new study indicates that today's kelp beds are less extensive and lush than those in the recent past. view more (2009-11-12)
Herbivory discovered in a spider
There are approximately 40,000 species of spiders in the world, all of which have been thought to be strict predators that feed on insects or other animals. Now, scientists have found that a small Central American jumping spider has a uniquely different diet: the species Bagheera kiplingi feeds predominantly on plant food. view more (2009-10-13)
Scientists demonstrate importance of niche differences in biodiversity
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have found strong evidence that niche differences are critical to biodiversity. Their findings are published online in this week's issue of the journal Nature. view more (2009-08-13)
Small rodents encourage the formation of scrubland in Spain
After two years of research over five degraded landscapes in the National Park of Sierra Nevada (Granada), scientists have established for the first time that field mice base their diet on holm oak and pine seeds, causing a deterioration of the habitats and an extension of scrubland in the forests. view more (2009-08-28)
