In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers compared ecological niches to identify probable mpox virus (MPXV) reservoir hosts. Study: Identifying the most probable mammal ...

More than four decades ago, field ecologists set out to quantify the diversity of trees on a forested plot on Barro Colorado Island in Panama, one of the most intensively studied tracts of tropical ...

The behavioural ecologist Professor Dr. Oliver Krüger from Bielefeld University is the speaker; the evolutionary biologist Professor Dr. Joachim Kurtz from the University of Münster, assumes the role ...

New study argues that the greatest defining feature of our species is not 'symbolism' or dramatic cognitive change but rather its unique ecological position as a global 'general specialist' It has ...

Scientists are looking to rewrite the textbook on microbial ecology. When it comes to microbe species, they argue, niche is much more important than names. In microbial systems, hundreds of species ...

This project investigates how nighttime foraging ecology shapes social structure in a focal nocturnal primate species. Using night follows, behavioral observations, and mapping of feeding sites, we ...
