Researchers are increasingly turning to citizen scientists for data collection on bird-window collisions because in the US alone, it is the cause of hundreds of millions bird deaths each year.

New research from Japan published in the Ecological Society of America’s journal Ecology suggests that increasingly severe weather driven by climate change may push oceangoing seabirds to their limits.

After a competitive search, the Ecological Society of America is pleased to announce the appointment of Scott L. Collins as the new editor-in-chief of its journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

Mangroves play a vital role in protecting human habitations from strong storms. But how does that protection affect the mangroves themselves? A team of environmental scientists led by Yu Mo of Trinity College in Dublin harnessed the power of satellites to analyze the damage to mangroves caused by every tropical cyclone around the world since the year 2001. Their results were published in the Ecological Society of America’s journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

Bees are not the only animals that carry pollen from flower to flower. Species with backbones, among them bats, birds, mice, and even lizards, also serve as pollinators. Although less familiar as flower visitors than insect pollinators, vertebrate pollinators are more likely to have coevolved tight relationships of high value to the plants they service, supplying essential reproductive aid for which few or no other species may substitute.
