We analyse 10 years of records Garden Moth Scheme (GMS) to estimate the effect of bulb and trap type on the number of moths caught by moth traps. We find that brighter, higher wattage bulbs collect ...

Frequentist inference typically is described in terms of hypothetical repeated sampling but there are advantages to an interpretation that uses a single random sample. Contemporary examples are given ...

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

Plastic pollution from fibre optic drones may threaten wildlife for years

Inventor’s company was paid £2.2m in post-Brexit scheme that critics say unfairly rewards wealthiest landowners while small farmers miss out

Urban ecology traditionally focuses on single cities, yet cities play key roles in ecological processes such as migration. Radar analysis across the continental USA reveals that nearly half of stopove...

Social scientists often seek to demonstrate that a construct has incremental validity over and above other related constructs. However, these claims are typically supported by measurement-level models...

Final decision has yet to be made amid ‘big fight inside government’ over trip by prime minister

Bogong moths migrate hundreds of kilometres and back each year using the southern night sky as their compass.

Campaigners say targets for woodland creation are unlikely to be met because 95% of grants are for planting

For the first time, the government is consulting on a Land Use Framework for England. It’s an important step, but there’s a long way to go.

In 2006, by the time scientist Sarah Cooley finished graduate school in marine science, oyster larvae in the Pacific Northwest had already begun dying mysteriously and dramatically—unable to form shel...

I'm new to the area of causal inference. From what I understand, one of the main concerns that causal inference tries to address is the effect of confounders! For the sake of reference, let's denot...

Campaigners have been calling for the qualification for years but plan stalled despite a curriculum being drawn up
