Leaders in U.S. environmental and science policy will review the emerging details of the first U.S. National Nature Assessment with the ecological community.
ESA will present its 16th annual Regional Policy Award to the Director for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation’s Department of Natural Resources Eric Quaempts on Sunday, Aug 6, 5:00pm EDT, during the ESA Conference Opening Plenary.

(July 19, 2023) – New research published in the journal Ecology explores why some species of bees specialize in visiting one type of plant over others.
(July 18, 2023) – Wildlife ecology and conservation will feature prominently at ESA’s Annual Meeting in Portland, Ore., Aug. 6-11, with sessions on animal behavior, habitat restoration, pest management, natural history, and more.
(July 12, 2023) – Dozens of sessions at ESA’s upcoming Annual Meeting in Portland, Ore., Aug. 6-11, will feature research on the ecology of the Pacific Northwest and Cascadia Bioregion.
New research published in Ecosphere shows that smoke – even a lot of smoke – wasn’t enough to deter visitors to national parks between the years 1980 and 2019. National park attendance numbers held steady regardless of the presence of even a dramatic amount of wildfire smoke.
Cities provide important connections to nature as well as habitat for many species, according to new research in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
Scientists have created a tool based on the habitat preferences of the black-backed woodpecker to help forest managers make decisions that promote regrowth and biodiversity following wildfires.
New research, recently published in the journal Ecology, shows that in northern forests, the presence of deer substantially increased the number of earthworms.
In a study published online April 26 in the journal Ecology, a University of Michigan-led research team used a pint-sized predator-prey-parasite system inside 20-gallon water tanks to test the ‘healthy herds hypothesis.’
To learn more about the causes of recent seismic shifts in insect populations, scientists at Davidson College and Catawba College collaborated on a three-year research project with more than 50 other scientists to examine the impact of temperature variation on insects in North America. The research was published in the scientific journal Ecology in late March.

Research published in Ecology took a closer look into candy-striped spider’s behaviour and found that the result of their stealth attacks could have substantial impacts on ecosystems.
The greater amount of Japanese barberry growing on a property, the greater amount of Lyme disease-carrying ticks you are likely to have.
There’s a surprising and highly influential link between invasive earthworms, white-tailed deer and tree harvesting in northern forests, according to new research from the University of Minnesota.
