During forest creation in temperate, agriculturally dominated systems, tree planting accumulates above-ground biomass more quickly than natural colonisation, whereas naturally colonised forests are m...

On November 9th, high school biology teacher, Dr. Paul Strode, made his second visit to the Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) to deliver a seminar. Paul shared his own scientific journey…

Using nearly 40 years of data from naturally-assembled plant communities, we found that while richness is important for resistance to extreme dry events, dominance is important for resistance to extr....

The Commission has adopted a new Pollinator Monitoring Scheme to help reverse the decline of pollinator populations by 2030.

Insect populations have declined worldwide, but the extent and drivers of these declines are debated. Most studies rely on field surveys performed in the past century, leaving gaps in our understandin...

Insects are declining worldwide. These declines have been documented across taxonomic groups and are worrisome given ecosystem services provided by...

A study published in March 2025 showed that we are losing butterflies at a rate of 1.3% per year in the contiguous US. State of the Butterflies in the United States presents a summary of those finding...

A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

In a warmer world your digestive system may be taking a serious hit.

Insects are often under pressure from several threats at once, from pesticides to habitat loss to pollution.

Global biodiversity targets focus on landscape and seascape connectivity as a foundational component of biodiversity conservation, including networks of connected protected areas. Recent advances allo...

An analysis of habitat fragmentation using a dataset of more than 4,000 species worldwide shows that fragmentation reduces biodiversity at all scales, and that increases in β diversity do not compensa...

Ongoing global climate change is affecting all aspects of life on Earth, including human health. The gut microbiota is an important determinant of health in humans and other organisms, but how climate...

Insects may respond to climate warming by advancing phenology and increasing the number of generations each year (voltinism). However, one concern is that earlier phenology changes cue-response relat...

Soil microorganisms play outsized roles in nutrient cycling, plant health, and climate regulation. Despite their importance, we have a limited understanding of how soil microbes are affected by habit....

Elk, deer, panthers, bears, turtles and all sorts of animals are struck by cars and trucks. Wildlife crossings give them safe passage.
