Ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) synergistically doubled overwintering Calanus glacialis mortality and increased DNA damage. OW accelerated moulting by mid-Polar Night, boosted metabolism, d....

Species diversification can support niche adaptation but should be embedded within a broader system-centred strategy. System-level interventions, including feed efficiency, water and salinity managem....

Warming makes copper’s effects on copepod feeding and reproduction unpredictable

npj Biodiversity - Vietnamese Odonata: bridging global biodiversity, ecological, and conservation gaps in a changing world

Job title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Soil Invertebrate Ecotoxicology (292636), Employer: University of Oslo, Deadline: Sunday, February 8, 2026

Tipping points govern species distributions, which could be impacted by ocean warming (OW) and sea surface freshening (SSF). Interactions between thes…

Nature Ecology & Evolution - The authors outline a framework for predicting animal population collapse under external stressors, based on a predictable sequence of observable changes through time.

Climate change and other anthropogenic drivers alter seasonal regimes across freshwater, terrestrial, and marine biomes. Seasonal patterns affect ecological and evolutionary processes at different eco...

From 2 to 6 June, 2025, NIOD researchers, Dat Nguyen, Annika Schmeding, and Lema Salah, in collaboration with Omar Dewachi (Rutgers University) and Duong Vu (Westerdijk Institute), organised a worksho...

Ecologists often leverage patterns observed across spatial climate gradients to predict the impacts of climate change (space-for-time substitution). We highlight evidence that this can be misleading n...

Plankton models have crucial applications in ecosystem management and climate change projections. This Perspective suggests that stronger alignment of plankton models with empirical knowledge is neede...

The sensitivity of coral reefs to climate change is well established. As the oceans warm and acidify, the calcification of coral reefs declines wit...

In this study, employing a detailed analysis of ocean carbonate system observations, models and biological assessments, we demonstrate that by year 2020, the average global ocean conditions had alrea...

Experimental work in aquatic ecosystems has shaped the development of the field of ecology, and our ability to predict ecological dynamics in a changing climate. In this Perspective, the authors discu...

Ecology has yet to embrace causal inference, yet most questions in ecology are causal. Despite the common use of terms that imply causation, such as “shapes”, “drives”, or “impacts”, many studies shy...
