Professor Benjamin Dittbrenner researchers wetlands, and the important ecological roles they have. But one wetland animal in particular has caught his eye for the work its doing to engineer itself a home- and a healthier ecosystem.

Associate Professor Rebecca Rosengaus shares the bizarre ways social insects have evolved to survive disease and how this may help humans survive them better too.

New research from David Kimbro improves the way ecologists can test their theories.

Two incoming PhD students have been awarded prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships to conduct their research at the Marine Science Center in Nahant.

A new study published by MSC researchers provides evidence indicating that parents exposed to predation risk may give birth to emboldened offspring.

One of this year’s NSF graduate research fellowship awardees is Sara Williams, a Research Technician at the Marine Science Center and an incoming graduate student in Northeastern’s Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology PhD program.

Oysters and "The Brady Bunch"? Assistant Professor David Kimbro and colleagues have us covered

Research from North­eastern Uni­ver­sity ecol­o­gist David Kimbro, along with colleagues Jon Grabowski and Randall Hughes, shows that the behavior of middle preda­tors in marine food webs plays an impor­tant role in the wel­fare of the whole system—and that, like our behavior, middle predator behavior is pretty fickle.

Michelle O'Donnell, an Environmental Science major, designed a poster to reflect her accomplishments and learning experiences during her work (co-op) semester last year.

Most species are content with just one form of reproduction, but not for the coral p. damicornis. These guys make babies sexually and asexually. Doctoral candidate David Combosch wants to know why.
