Highlighting benefits of bringing nature into our cities

Highlighting benefits of bringing nature into our cities ANI 29 Apr 2021, 12:37 GMT+10 London [UK], April 29 (ANI): A new report highlights planting urban trees, increasing community green spaces, utilising brownfield sites and building sustainable drainage systems as effective nature-based solutions in cities to improve wellbeing, bring economic benefit, increase biodiversity and fight climate change. These conclusions, released today (29 April), form part of the Nature-based Solutions report produced by the British Ecological Society which will be published in full on the 12th May. The report will offer, for the first time, a complete assessment of the potential of nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change and benefit biodiversity in the UK.

Talking transdisciplinarity

The societal challenges of the 21 st century – notably climate change, biodiversity loss and global inequality – are interlinked and cross-cutting, hence they cannot be resolved through siloed or sectoral approaches. They call on researchers to work across disciplines, and to actively engage and work collaboratively with research users, including local communities, practitioners, businesses and policymakers to produce actionable research. Yet the need for truly collaborative problem solving is often underappreciated in the environmental conservati

Rapid evolution in foxgloves pollinated by hummingbirds: Study

Rapid evolution in foxgloves pollinated by hummingbirds: Study ANI | Updated: Apr 12, 2021 16:29 IST Brighton [UK], April 12 (ANI): Researchers during a recent study found that common foxgloves brought to the Americas have rapidly evolved to change flower length in the presence of a new pollinator group, hummingbirds. The findings of the study were published in the British Ecological Society s Journal of Ecology. Researchers from the University of Sussex, Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia), and Universidad de Costa Rica, studying the common foxglove Digitalis purpurea, a bumblebee pollinated species native to Europe, have shown for the first time how rapid physical changes can occur in flowers following a change in environment and the presence of a new pollinator.
