Biology for AP Courses 2022-06-09T00:00:00Z The ecologist would have needed 11,628 liters of sea water to flow through the flume, which the draft report says she had to collect 2 kilometers from the shore. Star marine ecologist committed misconduct, university says 2022-08-09T04:00:00Z Drought could heighten the impact of the grass-fire cycle, suggest studies by ecologist Luke Flory of the University of Florida. Flammable invasive grasses are increasing risk of devastating wildfires 2022-08-03T04:00:00Z Now, 450 years later, a team of ecologists says the resulting answers to that survey have value as ecological surveys, taken before the word “ecology” entered the lexicon. Surveys commissioned by 16th century Spanish king provide unprecedented ecological snapshot 2022-08-04T04:00:00Z Danaher-Garcia, a behavioral ecologist, and her colleagues at the Dolphin Communication Project observed the two groups of dolphins in Bimini for 5 years, carrying out nearly 300 surveys. Dolphins make peace and love—not war—when they encounter strangers 2022-08-02T04:00:00Z Additionally, ecologists are interested in the population at a particular point in time, an infinitely small time interval. Biology for AP Courses 2022-06-09T00:00:00Z As a result, the animals attract less mainstream attention, says ecologist Erick Lundgren of Aarhus University, who led the new study. First photos of cougars killing donkeys in Death Valley suggest big impacts for ecosystem 2022-08-02T04:00:00Z And once the invaders take hold, ecologists say it’s tough to break their grip. Flammable invasive grasses are increasing risk of devastating wildfires 2022-08-03T04:00:00Z The behavior could even help ecologists study a longstanding mystery: How do so many plants coexist in natural ecosystems? This Pushy Plant Is the First Proved to Shove Its Neighbor 2022-08-01T04:00:00Z "They take exotic animals, like civets, porcupines, pangolins, raccoon dogs and bamboo rats, and they breed them in captivity," Daszak, who works for EcoHealth Alliance as a disease ecologist, had explained. COVID-19 likely came from a wet market, experts say. But what is a wet market anyway? 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z The more we study communities, the more complexities we find, allowing ecologists to derive more accurate and sophisticated models of population dynamics. Biology for AP Courses 2022-06-09T00:00:00Z Some ecologists and park staff in Death Valley have found evidence suggesting otherwise: sightings of cougars eating donkey carcasses, or carcasses stashed near cougar trails or scat. First photos of cougars killing donkeys in Death Valley suggest big impacts for ecosystem 2022-08-02T04:00:00Z “It’s a really exciting piece of work,” says Susan Kalisz, a plant evolutionary ecologist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who was not involved with the research. Is this pillbug-like organism a pollinator of the sea? 2022-07-27T04:00:00Z “Without the ability to swim, the sperm needs to navigate its way to the female plants in some other way,” says Myriam Valero, an ecologist at the French National Center for Scientific Research. In a First, Tiny Crustaceans Are Found to “Pollinate” Seaweed like Bees of the Sea 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z Live Lived: James Lovelock, a British ecologist, captured the scientific world’s imagination with his Gaia theory, which portrays the Earth as a living creature. Your Thursday Briefing 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z Understanding community structure and dynamics enables community ecologists to manage ecosystems more effectively. Biology for AP Courses 2022-06-09T00:00:00Z The evidence that cougars hunt donkeys and influence their behavior is strong, says Mark Boyce, an ecologist at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, who has worked with cougars and trophic cascades. First photos of cougars killing donkeys in Death Valley suggest big impacts for ecosystem 2022-08-02T04:00:00Z And Don Levitan, a marine ecologist at Florida State University, wonders whether wind and waves might be more effective at distributing the algae’s sperm. Is this pillbug-like organism a pollinator of the sea? 2022-07-27T04:00:00Z “I suspect this is much more common in the sea than we think,” says Brigitta van Tussenbroek, a marine ecologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In a First, Tiny Crustaceans Are Found to “Pollinate” Seaweed like Bees of the Sea 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z “We’re on the front lines of climate change. It’s all happening here,” said University of Louisiana at Lafayette ecologist Jimmy Nelson. Climate change and vanishing islands threaten brown pelicans 2022-07-26T04:00:00Z Some ecologists study ecosystems using controlled experimental systems, while some study entire ecosystems in their natural state, and others use both approaches. Biology for AP Courses 2022-06-09T00:00:00Z A park forest ecologist credited the controlled burns with protecting the 500 large trees. US takes emergency action to save sequoias from wildfires 2022-07-22T04:00:00Z “The impacts of human actions can actually be worse than what we might think just based on species tallies alone,” says Jedediah Brodie, an ecologist at the University of Montana. The most distinctive birds are the ones most at risk of extinction 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z “The global extinction crisis doesn’t mean we’re just losing species,” said Emma Hughes, an ecologist at the University of Sheffield in England and an author of the study. The Most Fascinating Birds Will Be the First to Go Extinct 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z “It’s just a devastating decline,” said Stuart Pimm, an ecologist at Duke University who was not involved in the new listing. Beloved monarch butterflies now listed as endangered 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z Traditionally, ecologists have measured biodiversity by taking into account both the number of species and their commonness. Biology for AP Courses 2022-06-09T00:00:00Z Still, the fact that it took so long to discover the stingray’s song leaves ecologists wondering: What other musicians go unnoticed in the symphony of the sea? Listen to wild stingrays sing for the first time 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z “Put a human in the sea, and they are pretty useless,” says marine ecologist Kelly J. Benoit-Bird of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Discoveries from the Deep 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z Mr Saleem continued: "As badgers are a protected species, we are in the process of obtaining the services of a qualified ecologist to help us further."
