Analysis of data from 140 countries suggests many rich countries could use less energy per capita without compromising health, happiness or prosperity. Countries struggling with energy poverty may be able to maximize well-being with less energy than previously thought.

A UC Santa Barbara forest scientist has been selected as an early career fellow of the Ecological Society of America for her work elucidating how sylvan ecosystems respond to climate change.

(April 19, 2022) – The Ecological Society of America is pleased to announce the winners of its 2022 awards, which recognize outstanding contributions to ecology in new discoveries, teaching, sustainability, diversity and lifelong commitment to the profession.

A new article in the Bulletin serves as a how-to guide for students to become professional ecological field technicians.

Findings recently published in Ecosphere show that areas in Maine with more recent and more intense timber removal activities were associated with population declines of martens and fishers.

UC Riverside ecologists and their UC collaborators applied a new theory for predicting biodiversity to the high mountain streams of California’s Sierra Nevada.

A new paper from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explores the mechanisms that shape the organization and diversity of herbivore communities, providing a new perspective on the improvement of biological control efficiency.

Landscapes with diverse fire histories – or pyrodiverse landscapes – have higher diversity of pollinators, as a recent study by USDA Forest Service scientist Michael Ulyshen shows.

A recent study evaluates the social and ecological drivers of the voting patterns of the over 3 million Coloradans who voted for or against wolf restoration via Proposition 114.

New research recently published in Ecological Applications uses acoustic telemetry and machine learning to shed light on the complex ecological relationships between sharks and game fish.

In a new review paper, scientists synthesize the many contributions of Indigenous knowledge and its importance as a distinct but complementary way of knowing to Western science.

In a newly published study, the researchers suggest that the best pest management outcomes may occur when growers encourage biological control — in the form of pests’ natural enemies — by planting cover crops and avoiding broad-spectrum insecticides as much as possible.
