Is your reaction to this picture “That’s cool!” or “Ew, that’s disgusting!”? Our new review argues that understanding perceptions of parasites and other human dimensions are key to improving conservation outcomes for parasites doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… @ScienceLeeds Conservation Biology

We are VERY pleased to announce the publication of our latest paper on the use of environmental DNA-derived co-occurrence networks to infer ecological interactions, which can be downloaded (as early view) from onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me… Fantastic work by Dr Elizabeth Boyse et al!

Can #eDNA recover biotic interactions? Our new study says Yes sometimes! Co-occurrence network analyses with data for the Moray Firth marine ecosystem recovered subsets of known food web trophic links but methodological issues are still a challenge 🧬🐳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

The Caspian Sea Is Drying Up: Endangered Seals, Vanishing Shorelines, and a Climate Crisis | scitechdaily.com/the-caspian-se…

Rapid decline of Caspian Sea level threatens ecosystem integrity, biodiversity protection, and human infrastructure bit.ly/4idLI9X

Rapid decline of Caspian Sea: Following a 5m decline, approx 77,000 km2 of current water area (around 20% of the sea surface) will become land, with the most affected areas being the northern basin, Kara-Bogaz-Gol, and Turkmenistan shoreline #Turkmenistan nature.com/articles/s4324…

Exploration of the past 6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea highlights past population dynamics and diets, offering insights into biodiversity changes in this marine ecosystem. The researchers take you behind their Nature Communications paper. go.nature.com/3YtC8J7

Water level declines of 5−10m in the Caspian Sea will threaten ecosystem integrity, compromise human infrastructure, and reduce marine protected area coverage by 94%, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. go.nature.com/4ijMfY2

New paper exploring demographic trends in Galapagos Geckos linked to Pleistocene island connectivity is out. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Wow.. its probably been over a year since this one was submitted, but its finally out! Herein we review HPAI across South America (and discuss the threat to Antarctic, prior to its arrival). 👉conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Declining Caspian Sea levels threaten the environment and human infrastructure in Turkmenistan. The northern basin, Kara-Bogaz-Gol, and Turkmenistan’s shore are expected to suffer the most. Ports will be impacted in all countries, including Turkmenistan. progres.online/society/enviro…

"People are concerned. Not only ecologists but also average citizens." How Kazakh ecologists and environmental activists are worried that the Caspian Sea’s levels are set for further decline aje.io/jwwy0f

Our collaborative team of international and Caspian region scientists worked together for the study featured in this news story. This urgent environmental issue is of global significance and needs wide recognition. nature.com/articles/s4324…
