Our fearless leader, Os Schmitz, spoke with BBC Future about research into how animal rewilding could be an important solution to tackling climate change. Thank you BBC Future, for highlighting this work! πΊ

Neat article highlighting some of the ideas in our recent Conservation Biology paper by Dr. Gosia Bryja ! Check it out if you like science, philosophy, and/or bears! Anthony Ferraro A. Z. Andis Arietta, PhD Nathalie Sommer gbryja.medium.com/a-bear-is-not-β¦

I'm thrilled to announce my very first publication is out with @MeghanMidgley and Robert Buchkowski from our work at the MortonArboretum on ground beetle ecology in forests!!! πͺ² authors.elsevier.com/a/1iPQu790n3-uF



πΏπΎ New research shows that bringing animals into ecosystems saves species and fights climate change by capturing and storing carbon. But, as we offer in our newest paper with People and Nature, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. #rewilding #climatechange doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1β¦

New paper from this newly minted doctor! It seems everyone is excited about the potential of Rewilding, and we are, too! So, we dove into all the complex contextual dependencies that matter when Rewilding for climate change. (1/3) People and Nature doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1β¦


How can conservationists rewild the carbon cycle? π£π³π This paper provides considerations to design and monitor such programs, and to weigh social-ecological trade-offs. Mary Burak @kristyferraro @kagglerock @diego_ellissoto @nathaliersommer Schmitz Lab doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1β¦

So proud of our very own Kristy Ferraro π¦π©π»βπ¬ & ππ for winning the Bormann Prize! Her work examines how plant-fungal associations can mitigate the impact of calving animals in nitrogen cycles. Read all about it below:

Very happy to see the highlight of our study, written by Schmitz Lab and Janey R. Lienau Thank you very much! Also, a special thanks to Mariano Rodriguez-Cabal and Journal of Animal Ecology for your trust in our study! :) Gustavo Q Romero Srivastava Lab besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13β¦
