Question: What is the future of systems ecology in a rapidly changing world?

Summary: The Robert B. Annis Water Resources Institute (AWRI) at Grand Valley State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Water Resources to begin Fall 2027. Applic...

A farmer in southern Oregon transformed 70 acres of his 400-acre barley farm into a wetland in 2021, creating an unexpected refuge for wildlife while helping address agricultural water pollution. Karl...

The goal of this seminar series is to showcase diverse early-career biologists working relatively local to West Chester, PA. Apart from giving our students the chance to learn about cutting-edge scien...

A 2,000-year Peruvian ice core record of atmospheric CH4 concentrations contains the first historical global CH4 record from the low latitudes, and implementation of a four-box model indicates higher equatorial CH4 strength than previous estimates from polar-only records.

Universities have been around for almost a millenium, so it is not surprising they have changed repeatedly in fundamental ways through time. One significant change was from circa 1850-1920 to creat…

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

The fish assemblages of small Mediterranean coastal lagoons remain understudied, despite their importance for biodiversity and ecological functioning.…

Researchers are following the path of nitrogen in a tropical stream to uncover relationships that support the entire ecosystem.

Wetland-dominated landscapes influence carbon cycling through their potential to act as both carbon sinks and sources. Wetlands in low-relief landscapes have dynamic terrestrial-aquatic interfaces tha...

One angler says the city council's action to boost oxygen levels with aerators was "too late".

What have so many influential scientists been at some time been ridiculed and disbelieved by their peers or institutions?

Using five years of daily lake plankton monitoring data and empirical dynamic modelling, this study shows that grazing, competition and facilitation reshape the temperature and nutrient conditions req...

Recycled municipal wastewater is increasingly used for non-potable irrigation in California, but its moderate nitrate content may mobilize redox-sensitive trace elements in geologic units such as the...

AbstractPast research has suggested that geology has an important influence on stream energetic functions. However, potential geological factors are confounded by other variables, such as drainage bas...

Ecology is not yet ready for AI—and why that matters

Phytoplankton community responses to nutrient-management interventions in agricultural catchments remain poorly understood, particularly with respect to functional group transitions. Petit-lac-Sai...

Assessing the magnitude and drivers of recent biodiversity losses requires informative, long-term baseline data. Here the authors reconstruct the temporal trajectories of butterflies and saproxylic be...
