Airborne eDNA metabarcoding captured broad patterns of moth diversity and detected species missed by light traps, but failed to reflect abundance and recovered fewer species overall. Airborne eDNA sh...

Dr Gemma Murray has been awarded a Wellcome Career Development Award to lead pioneering research into the hidden role of commensal bacteria in antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Il faudrait interrompre le nourrissage durant l’été, puisque les sources naturelles de nourriture sont alors beaucoup plus abondantes.

Aim Success in a biological invasion often depends on whether the non-native species can disperse from its introduction site and spread across the invaded landscape. The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura al...

Our findings suggest that B. terrestris colonies became food-limited towards the end of their colony cycle in early summer. We suggest ecological intensification through planting native wildflower sp....

A dominant conservation strategy to safeguard the natural environment and biodiversity is the creation of protected areas (PAs) at international, regional, and national scales. To date, such PAs have ...

Summer time means wasps visiting picnics! Sometimes they go for protein (e.g. ham) other times it's sugar (e.g. jam). Learning about the type of food wasps are after tells us about their life-cycle an...

Wasps seem to appear from nowhere in summer. Here’s how to deal with them

Did you know wasps switch from ham to jam foraging during the late summer?

Freshwater ecosystems are globally threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species, all of which are particularly acute in urban areas. To assess the impacts of urbanization on freshwater....

Nature Ecology & Evolution - Both agricultural expansion and intensification drive biodiversity losses. Here the authors quantify and compare globally the biodiversity impact of land conversion...

Despite advances in theory and experiments, how biodiversity influences the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems remains debated. By applying new theory to data on 84,695 plant, animal, and...

Abstract. The total number of species on earth and the rate at which new species are created are fundamental questions for ecology, evolution and conservat
