Ecology

Scientists have found that changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field may affect the behaviour of wood mycorrhizas, important components of forest and agricultural ecosystems. This discovery could lead to more efficient and sustainable management practices for these systems.

Scientists at the University of Cape Town have been studying the impact of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystems, revealing some worrying trends. Urgent action is needed to protect them.

Researchers at the University of Bukharest have discovered a previously unknown spider species that can survive without food for up to two years, thanks to its ability to enter a state of torpor. This discovery sheds new light on the remarkable adaptation abilities of these creatures and has important implications for our understanding of the ecological dynamics of forest ecosystems.
