Editor’s Selections: A Doubleshot of Ecology and Evolution Posts for the New Year
January 7th, 2010 Editor's Selections 3 Comments
Jarrett Byrnes focuses on posts in ecology, environmental sciences, and evolution. He blogs at I’m a chordata, urochordata!
And to celebrate the New Year, here’s a research blogging double-shot!
- How do you keep elephants from eating your crops? Plant chili peppers!
- Do we really know how many species have gone extinct in the modern era? Perhaps not. It may be worse.
- I always thoughts plants were nice kind beautiful organisms. But no, they’re as devious as anything else catching a free ride off of their ant mutualists.
- Just how fast are biomes moving away from the heat due to climate change?
- To prevent accidental same-sex matings, bedbugs use alarm pheromones. Without smell, romance could be anywhere!
- Dirt. It’s brown. And dirty. And a potentially huge unappreciated carbon sink.
