Tenders tie up at the processor’s docks, where a tube sucks salmon out of the hold and pumps them into a room-sized vat of slush ice, where they “rest” for six to eight hours to let their muscles ...

Plants produce an enormous abundance of natural products. Many natural plant products are ancestry-specific and occur only in certain plant families, sometimes only in a single species ...

The abundance of ticks can be challenging to predict, but Allan shares some indicators. He also talked about new species to expect in Illinois. Tick season is here.

The species-abundance distribution is one of ecology’s oldest and most universal laws, serving as a cornerstone of many biodiversity theories and ecological models. “This is the first study to ...

Learn to embrace both the visual and functional aspects of your garden to support diversity in your plantings.

Agricultural pesticide use continues to threaten biodiversity, especially in insect species that provide important ecosystem services.

Scientists typically describe thousands of new species each year. So—why so many beetle species? “We don’t know the precise answer,” says Chaboo. But clues are emerging.

Methods: We compiled abundance records for 144 invasive plant species from five major growth forms. We fit over 600 species distribution models based on occurrences of abundant plant populations, thus ...

After 50 years, this landmark law has kept many species alive — but few wild populations have recovered enough to come off the “endangered” list.

To do this, the authors analysed three measures: species abundance (the number of individuals), species distribution (the proportion of sites occupied) and national extinction risk.

The researchers detected a potentially universal pattern, which emerges once the species abundance distribution is fully unveiled: Most species are rare but not very rare, and only a few species ...
