Surprisingly, they found that half of species recovery budgets were allocated to research and monitoring rather than action. More of this funding needs to go to direct action because when research and monitoring receive a higher proportion of budgets the endangered species tend to fare worse. The study is published in Nature Communications. https://phys.org/news/2020-09-species.html Ecology Wed, 23 Sep 2020 07:36:23 EDT news520065378 A team led by Carleton University's Hillary Maddin has discovered the earliest fossil evidence of parental care.
