Research in Ecology is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on key issues of fundamental and applied ecology, with a special emphasis on cutting-edge researches challenging established theories and advancing our broad understanding of the functioning of ecological systems, as well as of the ways to ensure their protection. Both theoretical and experimental studies dealing with every level of ecological organization, from the individual to the ecosphere, are welcome.
Key topics include:
- Behavioral and physiological ecology
- Population ecology
- Landscape ecology
- Community ecology and biodiversity
- Ecosystem functioning and conservation
- Ecological sustainability
- Anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems
- Ecological protection and restoration

Research Status, Problems and Direction of Soil Organic Carbon in Zoige Peat Wetland
1-10
Article ID: 5799 DOI：https://doi.org/10.30564/re.v5i3.5799
53 (Download)
Abstract:
Peatlands, as a special type of wetland, occupy only 3% of the Earth’s surface, but bear about one-third of the world’s soil carbon storage and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. The Zoige Wetland is located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its peat reserves are up to 1.9... More

Abstract:
Recent trends in globalization, human mobility surge and global trade aggravated the expansion of alien species introduction leading to invasion by alien plants compounded by climate change. The ability to predict the spread of invasive species within the context of climate change holds significance for accurately identifying vulnerable regions and formulating strategies to contain their...

Evaluating Behavioural Modelling Predictions in the Blue Shark (Prionace glauca) Enables Greater Insight on Habitat Use from Location only Argos Data
Riley Elliott, Jingjing Zhang, Todd Dennis, John Montgomery, Craig Radford
31-48
Article ID: 5894 DOI：https://doi.org/10.30564/re.v5i3.5894

Abstract:
The relationship between habitat and behaviour provides important information for species management. For large, free roaming, marine animals satellite tags provide high resolution information on movement, but such datasets are restricted due to cost. Extracting additional biologically important information from these data would increase utilisation and value. Several modelling approaches have been developed to identify... More

Navigating Eutrophication in Aquatic Environments: Understanding Impacts and Unveiling Solutions for Effective Wastewater Management
11-18
Article ID: 5908 DOI：https://doi.org/10.30564/re.v5i3.5908
41 (Download)
Abstract:
Eutrophication is the term used to describe the presence of natural and artificial nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen in aquatic ecosystems. The water quality in various bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. is deteriorating as a result of an abundance of plant nutrients in these water sources. Over-enrichment of aquatic ecosystems with... More
