Impact of 10,000 years of humans in Alaska
Modern civilizations are depleting commercial fisheries leading to regulation excluding local indigenous peoples from traditional harvesting territories. This affects the Aleut peoples of the western Gulf of Alaska, who have depended on marine resources for nearly 10,000 years.

Testing ecological hypotheses using ‘synthetic’ datasets
Large data networks provide researchers with new means of addressing a large number of macroecological questions without having to collect new data. This study reviews common methods and principles, identifies bottlenecks and provides clear recommendations for using these approaches.

A Network of Ticks
In this study, researchers used a network approach to systematically describe ecological relationships between ticks, their hosts, and the pathogens they carry.
