Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. It's a broad field, spanning biology, engineering, policy, and environmental management. There are numerous ecology ...

Functional diversity describes the range, value and distribution of biological traits within ecological communities and provides a mechanistic link between biodiversity and ecosystem processes. By ...

As sea levels rise due to climate change, encroaching seawater will likely make freshwater environments saltier. In a new study, MIT researchers have shown how that increase in salinity might affect ...

In light of these pressing global ecological challenges, there is a compelling need to develop ecological theories and applied technologies for understanding, managing, and conserving macroecological ...

Across the world, rainforests are becoming savanna or farmland, savanna is drying out and turning into desert, and icy tundra is thawing. Indeed, scientific studies have now recorded “regime shifts” ...

A recently published study in the journal BioScience reveals that endangered longleaf pine ecosystems—among North America's most biodiverse habitats—face mounting threats from intensifying hurricane ...

Many of today's artificial intelligence systems loosely mimic the human brain. In a new paper, researchers suggest that another branch of biology -- ecology -- could inspire a whole new generation of ...

Organisms in their environments: the evolutionary backdrop -- Conditions -- Resources -- Life, death and life histories -- Intraspecific competition -- Dispersal, dormancy and metapopulations -- ...

Human activity significantly impacts wildlife and their habitats, threatening biodiversity. At Michigan Tech, our master's in wildlife ecology and conservation addresses these challenges. We monitor ...
