Out today⚡️ Gibbons have different voices (just like we do) and we can exploit this to count populations more accurately. We applied this idea to one of the rarest primates on Earth, finding that it's much closer to extinction than we previously thought. nature.com/articles/s4159…

New paper shows 88% of 42 African raptor species have declined over last 20–40 yrs. Declines were greatest in W Africa, and more than twice as severe outside of protected areas than within. nature.com/articles/s4155…

No wonder we are zoonotic disease prone with these data trends. doi.org/10.1093/biosci…
