Why Europe's rising plant diversity may signal habitat disruption, not ecological recovery

The number of plant species in many ecosystems in Europe has grown rather than shrunk over the last 100 years. However, this is not necessarily cause for celebration, as this local increase is primarily due to generalists and non-native species, which compete with the original na

Bottlenose dolphins in the Adriatic Sea seem to be heavily reliant on trawlers for food

Bottlenose dolphins in the Adriatic Sea are spending much of their time following trawlers to scavenge for food, scientists say. The Adriatic seabed has been plowed by bottom trawlers for decades, resulting in ecosystem damage. Many apex predators are no longer present there. Onl
