Ecology was originally split into two branches: autecology (ecology of species) and synecology (ecology of species assemblages, communities, ecosystems).A great challenge is to put the two together and work at multiple temporal and spatial scales: synecology

OK, so I wouldn't encourage everyone to do this, because then we'd pollute our oceans too much, but this guy's art is really interesting . The artist, Jason de Caires Taylor, uses sculptures to create artificial reefs. The hopes? To "promote hope and recovery, and underline our need to understand and protect the natural world." Of course, I have to wonder if in a thousand years or something, with coral all over them, how will they look? And, if you can still see the human features, isn't some poor diver going to get really, really freaked out? Heck, even knowing their just art, I ... Read Full Story

Look at the guilt in her eyes... I love it when animal ingenuity triumphs over human expectations. One very happy, hungry, and ingenious harbor seal found its way into a state fish hatchery sometime Monday night and had a ball of a time snacking to its heart's content until a hatchery worker discovered its whereabouts on Tuesday morning. The seal was found frolicking in the holding tanks, and didn't exactly go quietly when the muscle from the Cape Cod Stranding Network removed her from her ill-gotten gains. The kicker is that the hatchery is two miles inland - meaning the seal successfully waddled for ... Read Full Story

DNA evidence has helped identify 113 new sharks and rays—including a skinny saw shark, a swell shark that looks like it swallowed a Frisbee, and a river shark ( see photos ) —scientists announced Thursday. Nearly half of the newly named sharks and other species are found only around Australia. The discoveries increase the continent's tally of known sharks and rays by a third. One of the new fish, the collared carpet shark, is so rare that the only known specimen was found in the belly of another shark . Some of the new species are already threatened with extinction, scientists say, and many ... Read Full Story

The Bobbit worm, Eunice aphroditois, is a ferocious underwater predator. The bobbit worm can be found in Secret bay in Bali, Indonesia - Police Pier & Nudie Retreat in Lembeh, Indonesia - and Mainut Muck in Anilao Phillipines. It likes sandy and gravel substrates, that you would find on "muck" dives.     The worm has light and chemical receptors that cause it to lunge at fish when it thinks they are nearby. It has 5 antennae that house these sensory receptors.   Read More of the article Read Full Story

The Advertiser --Seal Recovers From Shark Attack. An emaciated seal pup named "Brian" by his care givers washed up on the shores of Gleelong, Australia (where else?) this week. The pup was attacked by a shark and starved for three days on the beach while his wounds became infected. Luckily, plucky "Brian" was discovered on Indented Head beach and concerned beach-goers contacted Leopold Wildlife Shelter and Wildlife Rescue Service. Think Steve Irwin in even tighter short s. Wildlife angels David and Helen Burrell swooped in and picked up the emaciated seal a week ago and have given him around-the-clock care since. Mr Burrell said ... Read Full Story
