New research challenges the long-standing idea that most fixed genetic mutations are neutral. For many years, scientists studying evolution have believed that most genetic changes influencing how ...

As far back as the late 1800s, researchers realized that answers to some ecological questions could be obtained by examining the molecular composition of organisms. One of the earliest attempts at ...

Each dimension of the framework is further expanded with “elements” within each dimension. By clicking on each element, you can explore explanations of these elements in the context of ecology ...

Movement ecology is a developing academic pursuit, combining expertise in a variety of fields, including biology, ecology, botany, environmental science, physics, mathematics, virology and others. It ...

Consumer production and consumption were studied in the equatorial alkaline-saline Lake Nakuru from 1972 to 1976. Together with earlier reports (including a study of the dominant consumer, the Lesser ...

The traditional view is that ecology shapes evolution. Some research has suggested, however, that evolutionary processes reciprocate by influencing ecology in turn. Now biologists present evidence ...

It took Timothy Farkas less than a week to catch and relocate 1,500 stick insects in the Santa Ynez mountains in southern California. His main tool was an actual stick. “It feels kind of brutish,” ...

An international team of researchers, led by Danielle DeLeo from the Smithsonian Institution, has identified eight organisms with previously unknown luminosity. Using genetic findings from these ...

Ecology and evolutionary biology (EBIO) is the study of how organisms interact with and are formed by their environment. Students explore how organisms live and how they are constrained by ...
