Ecology Concepts: Ecological Interactions and the Mathematics of Ecosystems
A trophic web is defined by the species involved and their interactions among themselves. What kind of interactions are there and how can they be analyzed?

What is biodiversity? How is it identified and measured, and how can we enhance and protect it? Can our mountains make themselves a refuge for species and a cradle of biodiversity?
An ecosystem is a complex network of interactions, often simplified into a pyramid. Documentaries and specialist journals provide insights into its real complexity. I provided you with some tips.
Deep seawater ecosystems are under several threats, with the inconvenience that the management of those areas does not belong to any country. How do we deal with this, and what are those menaces?
The European Union (EU) stands at a crucial crossroads as it seeks to balance agriculture and food supply with sustainability and environmental preservation. What are the challenges?
The marsh fritillary is an iconic butterfly species; but its population size has decreased dramatically in the last 50 years across the British Isles.
Some months ago, there was a proposal to lighten the protection status for the wolf in the EU. The proposal was turned down, but that was neither the beginning nor the end of the controversy this animal carries along.
Botanical discoveries drive mankind toward an incessant need for determination. Species that live in a territory are distinguished from others and named. A true botanical version of a treasure hunt.
Exploring the heart of Brazil, today we land on the Cerrado. Understand how the biome is a key piece for the safeguarding of Latin-American rivers and how you can make a difference in its survival.
Prof. Francisca Soares de Araújo, a biologist, and Sarah Ferreira discuss here the challenges of Caatinga. In this conversation, they talked about the dangers involved in the new dynamics of this Brazilian region.
Pastures are a living part of Alpine culture and landscape. They are a history of men and animals, an example of integration between man and nature and represent a landmark for mountain agriculture, economy and society.
This year, we shall explore the Brazilian landscape! First stop: Caatinga, a place once seen as empty and forgotten. Discover why this ecosystem doesn’t get what it deserves and learn its challenges in staying protected!
