					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Yin Shenglai How can models help us better understand avian influenza transmission and decide what to do next? Our review of 182 studies highlights opportunities to turn scientific understanding into practical decisions. These include using complementary modeling approaches, considering interacting host species, and connecting processes across space, time, and biological levels. Models help researchers explore how outbreaks begin, where the virus might &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Juan C. Diaz-Ricaurte An unexpected beginning in the Cerrado Sometimes, scientific tools emerge from sophisticated laboratories and carefully planned engineering projects. Other times, they begin with an empty paint tin. Ours was definitely the second case. Back in 2018, while working on several research projects in the Brazilian Cerrado, we began discussing a question that would eventually become central to my PhD: &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Bruno Vilela Just over a decade ago, I was beginning my PhD in Ecology and Evolution at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), Brazil. I was especially excited about the program’s emphasis on quantitative approaches. During my undergraduate and master’s studies at a natural history museum, I had been struck by how much information biological collections held and how little of it &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Jaume A. Badia-Boher In 1997, a pair of peregrine falcons settled on a cliff in Hungary. It was the first breeding pair in the country since the species disappeared during the pesticide crisis, in the 1960s. Since then, researchers, rangers, and volunteers of MME-BirdLife Hungary’s peregrine conservation group have checked nearly every breeding site, every season, and ringed chicks whenever they could. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Liming Cai Much of the species diversity on Earth is driven by biotic interactions. Ecologists and evolutionary biologists, including myself, strive to characterize these phenomena through careful field observation. However, cryptic underground interactions still largely remain a black box even with long-term surveys. Luckily, some of these cryptic interactions, such as plant parasitism, leave a unique genetic footprint that allows researchers to &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Guillermo Gomez-Peña Roads, power lines and wind turbines kill an enormous number of animals every year. To measure this, researchers go out and count the carcasses we find along these infrastructures. Whatever the infrastructure, however, we are only able to record the animals we can find, which is far fewer than the number that actually die. Researchers have long known these counts &#8230;]]></description>
