And ecologists are now transforming part of what was once a 2,200-acre landfill on Staten Island into a flowering meadow to give native pollinators a sugar boost.
The method produces some rather curious results, too: it predicts, for instance, that there are over 200 times as many animal species as protozoan ones, which may strike ecologists as rather odd.
An ocean so vast that many Marine ecologists believe there are still mysterious and massive creatures yet to be discovered.
But other landmark places proposed by ecologists were chosen, including the Needles off the Isle of Wight and the Manacles rocks off Cornwall.
Flower ecologists have distinguished the wind pollinators, i. e. , the anemophilous plants from the zoidogamous plants.
They're what ecologists call a "keystone" species, who control the abundance every other species, but require a habitat of sufficient size to support those other creatures.
When the ecologists had finished their fieldwork, they made a startling discovery.
The idea that the value provided by such “ecosystem services” can be represented by ecologists in a way that economists can get to grips with, though, is rather newer.
FOR much of its 26-year life the Ranger uranium mine in north Australia has seen protests from ecologists who oppose digging for nuclear fuel on the edge of a world heritage park.
Fisheries ecologists had long warned that the species was threatened by overfishing but their words fell on deaf ears-in part because earlier predictions of doom had proved incorrect.
In a recent speech Mr Putin grumbled: “Anywhere you go, you have to go with a bribe: fire inspection, ecologists, gynaecologists—everywhere. What a horror!”
The results are worrying, however, because ecologists conduct thousands of studies each year that involve analysing animals caught in traps.
