How best to feed the world

Forests are full of nutritious wild food that can provide rural villagers with a free or affordable source of diet. Paradoxically, current development efforts to increase food security often lead to the destruction of forests in order to make land…

Leafcutter ants’ lessons for sustainability

With a remarkable resource-efficiency and collective intelligence, leafcutter ants have thrived across millions of years of major changes in the Earth’s climate. ERC-grantee Jonathan Shik studies these agricultural systems of ants in a Panamanian…

Revealing the secret life of sharks in a warming ocean

Although it is widely known that global warming has a direct impact on our ecosystems, there is little information about its effects on oceans’ top predators, such as pelagic sharks and tunas. How does ocean deoxygenation brought about by climate…
