Metawebs and the Geography of Interactions From Wallace to modern species distribution models, biodiversity science has become extraordinarily good at mapping life across the planet. However, a forest is not just trees, birds, fungi, and insects occupying the same coordinates on a map. It is…

“Road Ecology – Synthesis and Perspectives” Infrastructure is often framed as progress. Roads, in particular, are symbols of connectivity, mobility, and economic development. But ecologically, they are also one of the most pervasive and transformative forces reshaping the planet. This new volume,…

The conflict between cetaceans and marine traffic goes viral Vessels and marine species are, quite literally, on a collision course... and sometimes an image is worth a thousand words. Recently, Greenpeace has shared in Instagram at least a small reel depicting a blue whale trying to navigate…

Landscape Features and Species Traits Drive Wildlife Road-Crossing Behaviour: A Mechanistic Modelling Approach For us, roads are beneficial, connecting places, people, and goods. But for biodiversity, roads are far less welcoming: they fragment habitat, affect animal movement, and cause roadkill.…

Why Common Species Matter: Rethinking Conservation Through Food Webs Conservation efforts have traditionally been focused on saving the rarest, most threatened species, and for good reason. But what if our singular focus on endangered species is causing us to overlook something crucial? I've been…

Happy birthday, Charles… A baby was born 217 years ago in Shrewsbury. This child, Charles, would grow into a reluctant revolutionary. At 22, he set out on a voyage that would change both his life and the course of science. Later, he laid out his ideas in a book. Books have a remarkable power: they…

A summary of our recent #research exploring how #amphibian diversity and threats vary across elevational zones in the #Colombian #Andes 🧪🦤🐸🌐🌎

Ecology in 2025 advanced its technical tools (AI models, data visualisation, and predictive power), but transforming the slow, political systems that determine how that knowledge is actually applied and who benefits is much more difficult.

Alongside the residencies, several events are already planned this year: - Summer School – Unifying Mathematical Models of Biodiversity, July 5–11 intp.science/en/summer26.... - Interdisciplinary Science School, Sept 7–12 - Autumn School - Syntheses in Theoretical Community Ecology, Oct 12–17 🌐🧪🌍

🚢¿Sabías que el crecimiento del tráfico marítimo global supone varias amenazas para la biodiversidad marina? 🐋Un estudio de la @ebdonana.bsky.social destaca que solo el 16% de las áreas con gran número de especies goza de protección frente a la navegación ➡️ https://f.mtr.cool/uaxkxqupau

🌟🆕 At the BES, we believe cost should not be a barrier to publishing. We have outlined how you can use resources like funding, waivers and agreements – including our own BES waivers – that cover the fees for processing and publishing your research. 📖 Find out more here ➡️ buff.ly/irQPJaP
