While most research on the relationship between ecosystem diversity and stability has focused on species richness, it is variation in species composition that provides the mechanistic basis to ...

The team found that the diversity of fish communities across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have changed dramatically since the ...

The variability among living organisms on the earth, including the variability within and between species and within and between ecosystems. Biological diversity, often shortened to biodiversity, is ...

Significant support is required from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), government and financial ecosystem to explore ways to ...

Researchers at MIT have recently devised a formula to predict the outcomes of species invasions based on experiments with ...

A formula can be used to predict what happens when a new species is introduced into an ecosystem -- whether it will establish itself in the community or fail to gain a foothold and die out.

Fire is a natural, vital component of most western forest ecosystems. In dry forest types like ponderosa pine, fire was historically present as a frequent, low-intensity disturbance. Fire is necessary ...

Species diversity is made up of two factors - the number of different species in an ecosystem and the proportion of each species in the ecosystem. These represent the richness of the species and ...

In the natural world, certain species have an outsized influence on the health and stability of their ecosystems.
