| E. O. Wilson Edward Osborne Wilson (born June 10, 1929) is an American biologist, researcher (sociobiology, biodiversity), theorist (consilience, biophilia), naturalist (conservationism) and author. His biological specialty is myrmecology, a branch of entomology.He is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction, Wilson is known for his career as a scientist, his advocacy for environmentalism, and his secular-humanist ideas pertaining to religious and ethical matters.

| Artificial neural network An artificial neural network (ANN), usually called "neural network" (NN), is a mathematical model or computational model that tries to simulate the structure and/or functional aspects of biological neural networks. It consists of an interconnected group of artificial neurons and processes information using a connectionist approach to computation. Artificial_neural_network | |
| LIDAR LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an optical remote sensing technology that measures properties of scattered light to find range and/or other information of a distant target. The prevalent method to determine distance to an object or surface is to use laser pulses. Like the similar radar technology, LIDAR | |
| Invasive species Invasive species is a phrase with several definitions. The first definition expresses the phrase in terms of non-indigenous species (e.g. plants or animals) that adversely affect the habitats they invade economically, environmentally or ecologically. It has been used in this sense by government organizations as well as conservation groups such as the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Invasive_species | |
| Conservation biology Conservation biology is the scientific study of the nature and status of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction. It is an interdisciplinary subject drawing on sciences, economics, and the practice of natural resource management. Conservation_biology | |
| ʻAlala The Alalā or Hawaiian Crow (Corvus hawaiiensis) is a species of bird in the jay family, Corvidae. It is about the size of the Carrion Crow at in length, but with more rounded wings and a much thicker bill. It has soft, brownish-black plumage and long, bristly throat feathers; the feet, legs and bill are black. Native Hawaiians consider the alalā an aumakua (family god). ʻAlala | |
| Paleoecology Paleoecology uses data from fossils and subfossils to reconstruct the ecosystems of the past. It includes the study of fossil organisms and their bromalites and other trace fossils in terms of their life cycle, their living interactions, their natural environment, their manner of death and burial. Paleoecology | |
| Overfishing Overfishing occurs when fishing activities reduce fish stocks below an acceptable level. This can occur in any body of water from a pond to the oceans.Ultimately overfishing may lead to resource depletion in cases of subsidised fishing, low biological growth rates and critical low biomass levels (e.g. by critical depensation growth properties). Particularly, overfishing of sharks has led to the upset of entire marine ecosystems. Overfishing | |
| Indicator species indicator species is any biological species that defines a trait or characteristic of the environment. For example, a species may delineate an ecoregion or indicate an environmental condition such as a disease outbreak, pollution, species competition or climate change. Indicator species can be among the most sensitive species in a region, and sometimes act as an early warning to monitoring biologists. Indicator_species | |
| Rewilding conservation biology, the term rewilding refers to passive and active activities intended to result in the reintroduction of extirpated or once-native species back into natural landscapes. Rewilding is the rehabilitation process of captive animals which assists them to regain their survival instincts before being reintroduced back into the wild. It is the combination of ex-situ and in-situ conservation. Rewilding | |

| Black-capped Vireo The Black-capped Vireo, Vireo atricapilla, is a small bird native to the United States and Mexico. It has been listed as an endangered species in the United States since 1987. The IUCN lists the species as vulnerable.The Black-capped Vireo is a songbird about 12 cm (4.5 inches ) in length. Black-capped_Vireo | |
| Torreya taxifolia Torreya taxifolia is a rare and endangered species found in the Southeastern United States at the state border region of northern Florida, and southwestern Georgia. It is the type species of the genus Torreya. Torreya taxifolia is commonly known as the Florida Torreya, Stinking Yew, or Stinking Cedar although not closely related to the true cedars.It became one of the first federally listed endangered plant species in the United States in 1984; the IUCN lists the species as critically endangered.

| Acoustic ecology Acoustic ecology, Sometimes called soundscape ecology, is the relationship, mediated through sound, between living beings and their environment. Acoustic ecology studies started in the late 1960s with R. Murray Schafer and his team at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada) as part of the World Soundscape Project. Acoustic_ecology | |
| Svalbard Global Seed Vault Svalbard Global Seed Vault () is a secure seedbank located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near the town of Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago. The facility was established to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds from locations worldwide in an underground cavern. Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault | |
| Flock of Dodos Flock of Dodos is a documentary film by American marine biologist and filmmaker Randy Olson. It highlights the debate between proponents of the concept of intelligent design and the scientific consensus that supports evolution.The documentary was first screened publicly on February 2, 2006 in Kansas, where much of the public controversy on intelligent design began, as well as the starting point of discussion in the documentary.

| Nature writing Nature writing is generally defined as nonfiction prose writing about the natural environment. Nature writing often draws heavily on scientific information and facts about the natural world; at the same time, it is frequently written in the first person and incorporates personal observations of and philosophical reflections upon nature.In This Incomperable Lande, Thomas Lyon suggests that nature writing encompasses a spectrum of different types of works, ranging from those that place primary emphasis on natural history facts (such as field guides) to those in which philosophical interpretations predominate.

| Society for Conservation Biology The Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) is an 501(c)3 non-profit international professional organization dedicated to promoting the scientific study of the phenomena that affect the maintenance, loss, and restoration of biological diversity. The Society's membership comprises a wide range of people interested in the conservation and study of biological diversityThe origin of the Society for Conservation Biology is associated with that of the field of conservation biology that emerged in 1978.

| Amaranthus brownii Amaranthus brownii is an annual herb in the Amaranthaceae family. It is one of nine species of Amaranthus in Hawaii, but the only endemic Hawaiian species of the genus. The plant was first collected by botanist Edward Leonard Caum on the Tanager Expedition in 1923 while exploring Nihoa, a small island in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Amaranthus_brownii |
