Welcome to Blackwell Ecology
Blackwell Publishing is now part of Wiley

Together we offer a wide range of journals, books and online books covering ecology, evolutionary biology, entomology, ornithology, zoology, conservation science and related areas.

New research shows Great White Shark has the strongbest bite
A team of researchers led by Stephen Wroe (University of Sydney) have shown that the Great White Shark has a bite force of over 1.8 tonnes, more powerful than the African Lion's bite and 20 times greater than the human bite. Their research also showed that the ancient extinct ancestor of the great white, the Carcharodon megalodon, could have produced a bite with between 10.8 and 18.2 tonnes of force, making it potentially the hardest biting carnivore of all time.
