As the global community is called to re-examine its relationship to the natural world, one thing is certain: despite all our technological advances we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy, just to name a few. The 2020 theme ā€œOur solutions are in natureā€ emphasizes hope, solidarity and the importance of working together at all levels to build a future of life in harmony with nature.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/bees.jpg?itok=_pPeOERz" width="160" height="149" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">21 </span><span class="month">May </span><span class="year">2020</span></div></div></div></div></div> Thu, 21 May 2020 14:23:53 +0000 webfull 160844 at /channels Adaptation: Competition and predation may not be the driving force scientists thought /channels/channels/news/adaptation-competition-and-predation-may-not-be-driving-force-scientists-thought-320738 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Species adapt to their local climates, but how often they adapt to their local communities remains a mystery.
