Novel analyses of a 31-year dataset on invading ladybeetles shows that small differences in habitat preference across years allow for two similar invading species to coexist while native species decline.
Considerable work happens behind the scenes as Sarah Garlick, Hubbard Brook’s Director of Science Engagement, brings together researchers and forest managers to identify shared research priorities in New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest.
Since its introduction in 2009, the swamp eel has nearly eliminated several populations of small aquatic species in the Everglades watershed. The new invasive may be more disruptive to the Everglades than the park’s flagship invasive, the Burmese Python, and brings a new challenge to Everglades management and restoration.
Nutrient addition increases aboveground plant growth more than it increases belowground plant growth, suggesting that the two are not linked.
Fish clear space for corals to grow in small scale experiments. But does fish grazing cause reefs to recover faster? A new study says no.
New cross-site working group explores untapped evolutionary research potential at LTER sites.
The Andrews Forest has produced cutting-edge research for decades. Moving forward, they look to the treetops to understand the forest.
Urban pond habitats and specific management practices promote amphibian diversity and abundance in Madison, Wisconsin
Researchers at the SBC LTER show that lobster spillover from MPAs caused a 400% increase in lobster abundance outside of protected areas.
