The journal French Historical Studies is especially interested in early-career researchers contributing to the upcoming #EnvHist issue. Deadline: 31 August. Read the full call here:

Super proud of the newly minted Dr (!) @serenath.bsky.social. Her thesis "(Un)making life in the shadows: the cultural, philosophical and biological significance of shadow diversity" is a fantastic piece of interdisciplinary research on the bits of biodiversity we overlook

Make sure to mark this in your calendars. Call is open now #envhist #cfp

ESEH – European Society for Environmental History@eseh.bsky.social · 4w ago

Can finally share! ASEH and Forest History Society are pleased to announce the search for the next editor of Environmental History has concluded with the appointment of Ellen F. Arnold, PhD. Ellen and her team at the Ohio State University will begin transitioning into their new roles this summer.

I recently came across the best ever rationale for species introduction to the UK: "I reckon we could just throw the middle spotted woodpecker into the UK. It would be very satisfying to have that gap between lesser and greater filled, regardless of the consequences."

We just published a Notepad in the journal Environment and History! Learn about our new vision for early-career researchers in environmental history and the environmental humanities in "NEXTGATe Evolves: Toward Craft and Creativity." #envhist #envhum

What a treat to talk to @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social, one of my longtime faves! We talked her (many) projects, quirks of academia in Scandanavia, and how history is the family business. I loved her new book GHOSTS UNDER GLASS @uchicagopress.bsky.social. Listen: draftingthepast.com/podcast-epis... 🗃️

At #ECCB26 in Leiden? Then on Friday come to our TWO(!) sessions on conservation histories, for some extremely thought-provoking talks on how we got where we are.

Very excited to attend #ECCB2026 in Leiden for the first time next week. If you are there, please visit our symposium “Conservation Histories and Humanities: Understanding the Present, Unearthing the Past” eccb26leiden.eu @scbeurope.bsky.social

If anyone is interested in #animalhistory - or just animals in general - come check out #IMC2026 panel 1505 : imc-leeds.confex.com/imc/2026/mee... The theme is 'protecting animals' which includes in my case maternity leave for horses, sabbaticals for work animals and more! #medievalsky #envhist

Joschka Meier@josserme.bsky.social · last mo.

There's lots of examples showing that people in the Middle Ages genuinely cared for animals - but that was, unfortunately, not universal. Like some transport horses that were driven so relentlessly across the Alps, that they became so emaciated that they'd be "replaced" after a year. #animalhistory

What’s up with 4 Czech men getting arrested in Brazil for allegedly smuggling hundreds of endemic cacti? And what can it teach us about responses to illegal wildlife trade more broadly?- a little explainer for @theconversation.com here: theconversation.com/the-strange-...

The strange history of Czech cactus hunters – and why some see themselves as Robin Hood figures

Some collectors believe breaking the law can help save endangered plants.

With the reintroduction of screwworm, a deadly cattle parasite once eradicated, to the US due to cut government funding, it seems a good time to reshare my recent article, "Veterinarians, Vaccines, and Hybrids: Veterinary Science in the Mongolian People’s Republic." Link below.
