Lionfish characteristics make them more “terminator” than predator
Thursday, August 14, 2014
Oregon State University
Lionfish appear to stay in one area even as the numbers of prey diminish, and in some cases can eat the population to local extinction. They have unique characteristics that make this possible, and like the terminator, they simply will not stop until the last of their prey is dead.

Stewardship of fire ecology by native Californian cultures
Friday, July 18, 2014
Friday, July 18, 2014
ESA
Before the colonial era, 100,000s of people lived on the land now called California, and many of their cultures manipulated fire to control the availability of plants they used for food, fuel, tools, and ritual. Contemporary tribes continue to use fire to maintain desired habitat and natural resources.

For bees (and flowers), tongue size matters

ESA
When it comes to bee tongues, length is proportional to the size of the bee, but heritage sets the proportion. Estimating this hard to measure trait helps scientists understand bee species’ resiliency to change.
