Tagging animals with sensors is a powerful approach to acquire critical information about the behavioural ecology of free-living animals, which ultimately can provide data to inform best practice in conservation efforts. Sensor tags for such deployments need long lifetimes and incorporate multiple sensors, especially location because space use can contextualize behavior. The tag size needs to b...

ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. one element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

What stops populations expanding into new territory beyond the edge of a range margin? Recent models addressing this problem have brought together population genetics and population ecology, and some have included interactions among species at range edges. Here, we review these models of adaptation at environmental or parapatric margins, and discuss the contrasting effects of migration in eithe...

Bacteriophages are the most abundant and diverse biological entities on the planet, and new phage genomes are being discovered at a rapid pace. As more phage genomes are published, new methods are needed for placing these genomes in an ecological and evolutionary context. Phages are difficult to study by phylogenetic methods, because they exchange genes regularly, and no single gene is conserve...

This book consists of 14 chapters covering important aspects in regards to various terrestrial ecosystems, wetlands, river systems, mine site rehabilitation, marsh ecology and heavy metals pollution. Also aims to fill some of the information gaps in ecological restoration, particularly in under-researched ecosystems around the world. Restoration ecology emerged as a separate field in ecology in...

The fiftieth anniversary of Haugen’s pioneering publication on the ecology language provides an ideal opportunity to reflect some promising new trends within recent research multilingual education that centers linguistic ecology. explored in this article takes up as a primary lens understand range phenomena, particularly contexts dynamic change focus community. This highlights three development...
