Hurricane effects on coral health Nat. Ecol. Evol. (IF 13.9) Pub Date : 2024-07-15 Marian Turner
Hurricanes are one of several forms of extreme weather event that will increase in intensity under climate change. Hurricanes generate high winds and high waves, which affect ocean circulation patterns. Writing in Global Change Biology, Dobbelaere et al. explore how these currents might affect the dispersal of coral larvae and the spread of coral disease. The authors used a coupled ocean current–wave

The decolonization dilemma at different stages of the academic career Nat. Ecol. Evol.

Martínez-Gómez, Juliana Merçon, Karina Boege, Wesley Dáttilo
Although colonial legacies in ecology have been widely discussed1,2 and steps have been taken to begin addressing some of the issues3,4, one element that has been less examined is how the challenge to decolonize our field variably affects individuals at different stages of their academic careers5. It is known that early-career researchers and established researchers face different challenges and pressures

A film about the Knepp Estate rewilding project in southern England is high in romance and beauty, but is not a deep dive into ecological concepts. It is a film that combines nature documentary with biopic. Tree is the main narrator, alongside smaller segments with Burrell, but younger versions of the two of them are also played by actors. In this way, they tell the story of giving up farming and document

reply to: T. Zhao & Y. Pan Nature Ecology & Evolution https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-024-02432-6 (2024) Our recent study1 presents evidence for the preservation of remnant corneous β-proteins (CBPs) in experimentally matured and Mesozoic fossil feathers. This evidence was obtained using infrared spectroscopy and synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy. We argue that these analytical techniques, when combined

Thinning benefits small trees Nat. Ecol. Evol. (IF 13.9) Pub Date : 2024-06-03 Walter Andriuzzi
Thinning — the selective removal of trees — has long been used in forestry to increase the productivity of tree stands. Restoration practitioners also apply this practice, for example, to foster natural canopy structure in secondary forest stands. Writing in the Journal of Applied Ecology, Gorrod and colleagues show that restoration thinning may not have the intended ecological effects in Eucalyptus
