I will be presenting in the Monitoring session! Can’t wait to see Oxford again, it’s been like 20 yrs! Also why isn’t there an academic speedrail between Cambridge and Oxford so I can do both while there? 😭

My boy ain't deserve this. the OneWhale NGO tasked with his protection & relocation have done a terrible job these past 4 yrs IMO, just accepting donations, welcoming new members to their ever-growing team and posting on social media.

Between highly personal journeys with wolves and detached cultural histories of the wolf now is finally a book that is very levelheaded and analytical. you can now read Thorsten Gieser’s wolf book open access transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-747… recommended!

Would you like to read about the shenanigans that users get up to when livestreaming slow-TV on wildlife? The anthropomorphisation, species bingos, watchparties, competitions and 'crying with joy' at animal sightings? You can now read my new article sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Does the experience of killing animals in #hunting and #fishing / #angling produce the best environmental stewards? We present arguments pro and against this controversy in @naturesustainab nature.com/articles/s4189… Led by Sam Shepard @InlandFisherIE with @EricavonE and others.

I’m always a bit thrown when this bus passes me in sthlm. Like you turn your head on your bike and it’s 1.5m from your face. But I do feel that more public transport should be animal themed, going forward

learned people, i am looking for something i can't put a name to. about the power & agency of scripts/schemas -for example when you have a form that you tick for e.g. data collection. are there any critical takes on this and which problematize the script's power?

Help what sort of plant is this that grows pizza. Thanks in advance

This thrush I came across today. Has missed no meals ever. Unbelievable

Is anyone of my ppl here coming and doing a panel? Or interested in being part of an urban wildlife one if I put it together?

I think maybe my proudest accomplishment in 2023 was breaking five French coffee presses. Every time I buy a new one I show it the ‘graveyard’ of those that came before so it knows to stay in line. No this is not working

i'm puppy-sitting for my neighbors today and it's a polar vortex like storm outside and Teddy doesn't have a coat. Do i carve open my own body to give him warmth and shelter like Leo did with the bear in the Revenant/Han Solo with the Hoth animal in Star Wars? Y/N?

I love project reports where ecologists disclose wild animals sabotaging their interventions. this one report im reading on mink removal is like 'a muskrat destroyed our raft trap' and there is a picture of the culprit with zero regrets
