Tokamak fusion reactor. Wikimedia Korean Fusion Reactor sets new nuclear fusion record for sustaining 100 million degree plasma. Scientists in South Korea have set a remarkable new achievement in the quest for abundant energy through nuclear fusion by achieving a staggering temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, seven times hotter than the core of the […]
Continue ReadingShortlisted for the 2023 Southwood Prize Nicholas McMillan details how he and colleagues collected data across eight grassland landscapes to test how an invasive legume affected plant and bird communities at spatial grains ranging from 0.1 m2 to >3,000,000 m2. It was concluded that scale is a central problem in ecology, and defining scale in management objectives is essential […]

The Harper Prize is an annual award for the best early career research paper published in Journal of Ecology. Chenhui Chang’s article ‘Reciprocal bark exchange helps to disentangle tree species-dependent bark and wood trait effects on invertebrate diversity‘ is one of those shortlisted […]
Continue ReadingShortlisted for the 2023 Southwood Prize Aimée McIntosh talks us through how she and colleagues constructed an integrated population model to assess the cumulative impact of all shooting harvest on the Greenland barnacle goose. Findings demonstrate the impact of local harvests on global abundance, emphasising the importance of internationally coordinated monitoring and management strategies of […]

The Harper Prize is an annual award for the best early career research paper published in Journal of Ecology. Tara Miller’s article ‘Warmer temperatures are linked to widespread phenological mismatch among native and non-native forest plants‘ is one of those shortlisted for the […]
Continue ReadingThis decrease comes thanks to the stricter emission targets in application since 2020. Vans emissions have also seen a decrease of some 10% over the same period. Only one manufacturer was found to have exceeded its target in 2022, and will be required to pay an excess emissions premium. In 2022, 9.4 million new passenger […]
Continue ReadingShortlisted for the 2023 Southwood Prize Samuel Fischer discusses how he and colleagues researched and utilised an angler smartphone app to build a stochastic model for angler traffic in the Canadian province of Alberta. Anglers facilitate the spread of whirling disease, a parasite-induced fish disease, meaning this model demonstrates the importance of individual-specific behaviour of […]
