We take these samples so that we can characterize the chemical signatures of each plant type, and water from different parts of the system. Then, we can recognize those same signatures in [...]]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/07/05/water-samples-and-wildlife/feed/ 0 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/12/20/crash-land-home-for-the-holidays/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/12/20/crash-land-home-for-the-holidays/#comments Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:45:26 +0000 CERC Guest Blogger http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/?p=21277 As holidays approach and we plan our ‘seasonal’ migrations to see our families, many other species are making their own migrations — though with a few more snafus than we humans might hit.]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/12/20/crash-land-home-for-the-holidays/feed/ 0 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/03/23/cats-and-wind-turbines-a-bird%e2%80%99s-two-greatest-fears/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/03/23/cats-and-wind-turbines-a-bird%e2%80%99s-two-greatest-fears/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:10:27 +0000 Brian Kateman http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/?p=13091 Studies find that cats and wind turbines are responsible for the death of many birds. ]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/03/23/cats-and-wind-turbines-a-bird%e2%80%99s-two-greatest-fears/feed/ 5 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/03/02/biodiversity-and-health-extinction-by-infection-biodiversity-makes-a-difference/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/03/02/biodiversity-and-health-extinction-by-infection-biodiversity-makes-a-difference/#comments Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:19:36 +0000 Brian Kateman http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/?p=12326 Throughout the past several decades, countless species have been infected by non-native deadly diseases and ultimately crashed in numbers. A survey of important case studies highlight the importance of mitigating the virulence of the planet’s pathogens. ]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/03/02/biodiversity-and-health-extinction-by-infection-biodiversity-makes-a-difference/feed/ 2
