Different scientific traditions offer seemingly disparate approaches to inferring causal relationships in ecological systems. This Perspective unifies the causal assumptions and methods from...

Abstract Mutualistic interactions between plants and pollinators play an important role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem stability. However, these interactions are increasingly threatened by c...

Climate change is sending early wakeup calls to buds and bees on the slopes of Pikes Peak, CU Boulder research says.

Addressing the worldwide biodiversity crisis in fragmented landscapes requires considering both immediate and delayed extinctions—the extinction debt. This debt arises from the gradual loss of species...

Recent global policy developments have highlighted the need for straightforward, robust, and meaningful biodiversity metrics. However, much of conservation science is dominated by the use of a single....

Osos pardos, manadas de cebras, cultivos de seda… Un estudio de ecología histórica describe la flora y la fauna en tiempos de Felipe II. Lo que había, y lo que hemos perdido.

Marmots serve as a reminder to me to step back from this optimization-focused perspective and pay more attention to how organisms actually act than to how I think they should act.

Economists find public R&D drives U.S. productivity growth — and pays for itself

Plant-pollinator interaction networks are dynamic in time and space. Interaction turnover consists of interaction rewiring (i.e., changes in interactions independent of species turnover) and species t...

The Importance of the Regional Species Pool The regional species pool—the set of species capable of entering a local community—is a foundational concept for understanding ecological processes that o...
