Nature Is Behaving Strangely and Scientists Don’t Know Why
Ecological theory and experience tells us that plants on meadows and pastures across Denmark should be dispersing heavier seeds. But they are doing the exact…
Discover a wealth of articles related to the captivating and complex field of ecology. Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment, including the interactions between individuals, populations, and entire ecosystems.
Ecology is often referred to as “environmental biology” or “ecosystem science,” and encompasses a wide range of topics, including biodiversity, conservation biology, climate change, and sustainability. It also involves interdisciplinary approaches, drawing from fields such as geography, sociology, and economics.
On this page, you will find the latest news and research on ecology from around the world, covering topics such as the effects of climate change on ecosystems, the conservation of endangered species, and the impacts of human activities on the environment.
