Ohio Butterfly Monitoring Offers Insights Into Broader Ecological Trends
A long-term study of butterfly populations in Ohio's Cuyahoga Valley National Park is shedding light on ecological changes and the impacts of human activities on local ecosystems. The study, which has been ongoing since the 1990s, represents one of the longest-running volunteer-driven insect surveys in North America. Experts from ¹ú²úÂ×Àí’s Department of Biological Sciences are working to interpret 20-plus years’ worth of data and convey what it means for environmental conservation.
New Research Initiative Aims to Unravel Genetic Adaptations to High Altitude Hypoxia
A ¹ú²úÂ×Àí faculty researcher in the Department of Biological Sciences has launched a pioneering study to explore how different species adapt to high-altitude environments in the Himalayas where oxygen levels are significantly lower. This research could have significant implications for understanding hypoxia-related conditions in humans.
