Invasive Reptiles Are Taking Over Florida—and Devouring Its Birds Along the Way
From The National Audubon Society
BY CHRIS SWEENEY | SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
Birds like Roseate Spoonbills and Burrowing Owls are ending up in the stomachs of hungry pythons and nile monitors. Is it too late to stop them?
t’s a sweaty morning last June on the outskirts of Tampa, and droves of reptile enthusiasts are streaming into an air-conditioned expo center. Some have woken early to trek out to the Florida State Fairgrounds to get first crack at the ...

Students examine impacts of pipeline construction through ecological and cultural lens
From VT News
Virginia Tech faculty and eight undergraduate students from universities around the country spent the summer monitoring ecological and social impacts of Mountain Valley Pipeline construction, which bisects rivers, streams, wetlands, and national forest.
The interstate pipeline, designed to transport natural gas from West Virginia through five Virginia counties, has been the subject of factious debate for years.
The students participated in a Virginia Tech Research and Extension Experiences for Undergraduates (REEU) program funded by ...

A Watershed Moment for Conservation in the New River Valley, Virginia
From the New River Land Trust
In 1909, John B. Laing purchased a large property on Big Mountain in Giles County. Even at that time, he recognized the area was special. He wrote, “There is not any place that I know of that I would get more pleasure in protecting for the future than I would in Little Stony Creek watershed. Mountain streams like that are very scarce and in the future will be more so.”
His great-grandchildren made Mr. ...

Researchers examine how the laws of physics impact evolution
From VT News
Think about the fast sprint of a cheetah or the rapid undulation of a swimming fish.
All biological motion is dependent on the rules of mechanics, which is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of material bodies and the forces exerted upon them.
But, how do the static laws of physics impact the dynamic process of evolution? Do stronger relationships between a morphological trait and swimming speed, for example, facilitate or ...
