					<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>

					<description><![CDATA[Post provided by Alexa Fredston What is a range edge? Every ecologist and evolutionary biologist knows what the edges of species’ geographic ranges (also called distributions) mean, in theory. But I’ve learned that we have virtually no agreement on what they are in practice. Give ten researchers a dataset of a species’ occurrences and abundances over space and time to calculate where the range edges &#8230;]]></description>

The seafloor is full of colourful organisms, but we almost always see them through the coloured light that water leaves us, never in colours of their own. However, this is not a limitation of my eyes, or yours. Water &#8230;]]></description>
