Burning Invasive Western Juniper Maintains Sagebrush Dominance Longer
The researchers looked at ecological data for as long as 33 years after either fire or cutting down juniper was used to control junipers.
Extreme Evolution
Researchers at McMaster University who rush in after storms to study the behaviour of spiders have found that extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones may have an evolutionary impact on populations living in storm-prone regions, where aggressive spiders have the best odds of survival.
