Are you a highly motivated and enthusiastic ecologist who wants to uncover how nitrogen deposition affects plant and arthropod biodiversity? Are you excited by the idea of combining large-scale fieldw...

Researchers have discovered a "megasite" of dead whales along with new species of marine life feasting on the corpses.

Collection of phylogenetic tree statistics, collected throughout the literature. All functions have been written to maximize computation speed. The package includes umbrella functions to calculate all...

I spent a good fraction of my career’s work effort on teaching, and – like most academics – I had very nearly no idea what I was doing. I’d never had a moment’s formal training in teaching, and, at…

The collective escape of prey from predators is a classic example of adaptive behavior in animal groups. Across species, individual prey have evolved a large re...

Wereldwijd sterven koraalriffen dermate snel af, dat we inmiddels het eerste klimaat-kantelpunt hebben bereikt, rapporteerden wetenschappers afgelopen...

ShoalBase offers a global database on fish social behaviour, supporting research, conservation, and ecology through community contributions and visual data mapping.

The detectCores() function of the parallel package is probably one of the most used functions when it comes to setting the number of parallel workers to use in R. In this blog post, I’ll try to explai...

Explore the interior of an algal cell on your four paws. Built with experimental data and populated with actual protein structures, Meowtabolism offers a glimpse of the vast world inside the basic fun...

Interference by tumor-associated macrophages may significantly reduce the efficacy of therapeutic viruses designed to infect cancer cells and activate…

A new major version of ggplot2 has been released on CRAN. Find out what is new here.

Horizons - In brief

Why are some species widespread while others are found only in small, isolated areas? This study shows that species with narrow ranges, and thus higher extinction risk, are often island-restricted, po...

New Nature Communication publications sheds light on how ecological, evolutionary, and geographical processes can simultaneously shape species’ vulnerability to extinction.

An international study conducted in Eawag's experimental ponds demonstrates how indirect ecological effects influence the evolution of species.

Mitochondrial genomes are frequently used for phylogenetic inference due to their availability and cost-efficient sequencing. In most mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses, only the two ribosomal RNA and ...

Protein sequences from fossil tooth enamel of a rhinocerotid from Canada’s High Arctic are used to develop phylogenetic frameworks from a specimen too old to preserve ancient DNA.
