Who is making jokes at scientific conferences? Which type of joke land? To find out, we collected quantitative data on jokes at 14 scientific conferences – now published OA in @royalsociety.org ProcB: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... w/ @rcorreia.bsky.social @andreasantangeli.bsky.social and more

Many sport organisations have capitalised on wildlife iconography to develop their brand. Representations of wildlife in sport offer enormous potential for shifting social norms, raising funds & promoting biodiversity conservation initiatives within the industry doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Biophobias—fear of nature’s elements—don’t just impact mental health. They ripple through wildlife and public health, ecosystems & culture. We argue: it's time to frame biophobias as a One Health issue, tackling them with integrated solutions. Read it OA here: doi.org/10.1093/bios...

We are far from conserving migratory butterflies. Our new paper shows that current protected areas are inadequate for 👉84% of migratory butterfly species in at least one season 👉45% of species in all seasons. (1/7) doi.org/10.1111/cobi...
