Feb. 20, 2024 Research shows the relationship between a species' age and its risk of going extinct could be accurately predicted by an ecological model called the 'neutral theory of ...
Aug. 1, 2023 An interdisciplinary team of mathematicians, engineers, physicists, and medical scientists has uncovered an unexpected link between pure mathematics and genetics, that reveals key insights into the ...
Mar. 21, 2024 What maintains stability within an ecosystem and prevents a single best competitor from displacing other species from a community? Does ecosystem stability depend upon the presence of a wide variety ...
Oct. 4, 2023 An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...
June 20, 2022 Species have intrinsic value, but also provide ecosystem services of major economic value, for example, bees that pollinate our crops. However, as such values are hard to translate into figures, ...
Feb. 4, 2022 The first unified vision of the world ocean biodiversity, based on analysis of DNA sequences from the surface to deep-ocean sediments, unveils the rich and unknown life in the abyssal realm, the last ...
Nov. 16, 2022 Ecologists have shown that efforts to restore prairies can have vastly different outcomes in terms of their biodiversity and functionality when the only variable is the year a prairie is ...
Apr. 7, 2022 A new tool can better assess an important but overlooked indicator of global warming: the variety of bugs, worms, and snails living in high mountain ...
Nov. 16, 2023 Human trade and transport have led to the intentional and accidental introductions of non-native species outside of their natural range globally. These biological invasions can cause extinctions, ...
July 14, 2023 Oceanic islands provide useful models for ecology, biogeography and evolutionary research. Many ground-breaking findings -- including Darwin's theory of evolution -- have emerged from the study ...
