|February 26, 2016 <br> [[Recent PLOS research at the food, water, energy nexus]] <br> ''While the roots of ecology may have focused on how many animals there were or, where those animals were located, ecological theory and methods are now increasingly informing public policy and resource management. One of the latest results of this trend is ecological work in the study of the food-water-energy-nexus.''

|November 23, 2015 <br> [[How a Forest Responds to the Threatening Heat of 2100]] <br> ''Wood, 40, is responsible for the daily operations of this first-of-its-kind experiment, where scientists are cranking up the heat by 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) to see what happens to the saplings of palm and tabonuco and small plants growing here. This is as hot as our planet may be in 2100 if nations emit carbon dioxide at present-day rates. The scientists want to see whether tropical forests will thrive in that changed world.''

|October 23, 2015 <br> [[Waiting for the Canal]] <br> ''A controversial $50 billion coast-to-coast canal project connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, sanctioned by Nicaragua’s Sandinista government and funded by a Chinese investment company called HKND, threatens to displace the people of Playa Gigante, plus anywhere between 27,000 and 100,000 other Nicaraguans. The residents will lose their homes, and their modest fishing boats will make way for 200-foot-wide shipping leviathans.''
