New Paper: Using census data and history to assess evolution and population

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Corri Baker

A new paper titled ‘Strength of density feedback in census data increases from slow to fast life histories‘ investigates the idea that examining the life history of species through the collection of census data can provide an evolutionary signal. According to the research this data can provide valuable feedback regarding evolution and long-term population trends. […]

New Paper: Avoiding a biodiversity collapse in tropical forest areas

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Corri Baker

Please visit senior author Corey Bradshaw’s blog A new paper titled ‘Averting a biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas‘ investigates the plight of the protected tropical reserves around the planet. The researchers argue that while most tropical reserves were helping with protection of their forest, approximately half were struggling to maintain their original biodiversity. […]

New Paper: Identification through DNA Barcoding – a powerful oppurtunity for ecologists

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Corri Baker

A new paper titlted ‘Identification of Rays through DNA Barcoding: An Application for Ecologists‘ investiges DNA barcoding and its use as a potentially powerful ecological tool to support and confirm species identifications and to highlight species complexities. DNA Barcoding is used to investigate tropical rays as part of the ecological study. The paper involves Environment […]

New Paper: A rapid, efficient, and low-cost way to measure marine biodiversity

Posted on July 17, 2012 by Corri Baker

A new paper titled ‘Multi-scale marine biodiversity patterns inferred efficiently from habitat image processing‘ outlines a rapid, efficient, and low-cost way to measure species diversity through digital habitat images that require little image processing or interpretation. Using this system marine life can potentially be examined in a much simpler fashion. The paper involves Environment Institute […]

Saving forests? Take a leaf from insurance industry’s book

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Corri Baker

A group of environmental scientists, including Environment Institute member Professor Corey Bradshaw, say a problem-ridden economic model designed to slow deforestation can be improved by applying key concepts from the insurance industry. REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) is a UN-promoted scheme that allows countries to trade in carbon credits to keep forests […]
