Ecological succession (Habitat 🌄)

Ecological succession is the process of how species compositions change in an ecological community over time. The two main categories of ecological succession are primary succession and secondary succession. Primary succession occurs after the initial colonization of a newly created habitat with no living org...

Another genius Canadian you've never heard of, John Todd was born in Hamilton Ontario. Forty years ago he created an eco-machine to clean polluted water and now, at 80 years old, he's working on putting it on sailing vessels to clean up environmental disasters. There are no words to describe my gratitude.

In 1969, Todd co-founded the New Alchemy Institute with his wife, Nancy, and a colleague, Bill McClarney – not quite a hippy commune, an alternative research institute (associates included visionary architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, economist EF Schumacher and Lynn Margulis, co-creator of the Gaia hypothesis). “I decided I wasn’t a doomwatch ecologist,” Todd says. “Doomwatch can be left to other people, I was more interested in solutions.”

Coevolution (Habitat 🌄)

In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other's evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution. Charles Darwin mentioned evolutionary i...

Urban evolution (Habitat 🌄)

Urban evolution refers to the heritable genetic changes of populations in response to urban development and anthropogenic activities in urban areas. Urban evolution can be caused by mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, or evolution by natural selection. Biologists have observed evolutionary change in numerous species compared to ...

Intermediate disturbance hypothesis (Landscape ecology 🏞️)

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis suggests that local species diversity is maximized when ecological disturbance is neither too rare nor too frequent. At low levels of disturbance, more competitive organisms will push subordinate species...
