Spannend zu sehen, wie LIB-Forschung auch außerhalb der Fachcommunity aufgegriffen wird — danke an RiffReporter für das Feature! Ein gutes Beispiel dafür, wie Infrastruktur unbeabsichtigt Tierbewegungen beeinflussen kann. #LIBResearch
RiffReporter@riffreporter.bsky.social · 7mo ago#Schlangen als blinde Passagiere? Laut einer Studie könnten giftige indische Königskobras womöglich gern mal unfreiwillig mit dem #Zug durch Indien reisen. Warum das sowohl für die gefährdeten Tiere selbst als auch für Mensch und #Umwelt ein Risiko wäre, weiß @susannewedlich.bsky.social.
A strong start to the CBD expert meeting on the draft global guidance for sustainable wildlife management! Day 1 featured rich, constructive discussions and valuable inputs from diverse perspectives, supported by #LIBResearch @leibnizlib.bsky.social Looking forward to continuing the review tomorrow.

AI chatbots are already biasing research — we must establish guidelines for their use now
The academic community has looked at how artificial-intelligence tools help researchers to write papers, but not how they distort the literature scientists choose to cite.
