This is the latest salvo in what I'm calling The Great British Herpetological Hoo-Hah - disagreements on what amphibians and reptiles should be 're'-introduced to Britain, where, and how. Lots of fascinating details. Worthy of a PhD study or a 4-part BBC1 drama www.arc-trust.org/lost-frogs-r...

Currently reading the booklet “Housing for Wood Ducks,” published by the Illinois Natural History Survey (1953) and want to know more about the making, circulation, and use of natural history circulars from the mid cent. Any suggestions for readings/info on this topic? #envhist #histSTM

Apparently, evidence indicates that #climatechange, not humans or something else, drove the woolly rhinoceros to #extinction. Clever science here. #envhist #Pleistocene @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Favorite student evaluation of the year so far: "most of the lectures were actually relevant and/or interesting" I take that as a win 🥰 #studentevals

Whenever I hear stories of "Canadian" animals spotted in the UK, I first wonder if they're the descendants of donated Canadian national park ones that escaped. It's happened. Here are beaver heading to London, Eng, 1946. 2 died in the traps, another in transit. heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm....

Another day, another illicit species release: I suspect there are a few people who know exactly where this one came from (Bavaria, originally, I bet - it seems all Europe's illicit beavers can be traced back there), and quite a few more who have strong suspicions. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why don't we have an EU wide carbon tax? Well, some people worked as hard as they could to stop it. Important new research by Fabienne Jouty and Christophe Bonneuil!

Profits from scientific publishing are eye-watering, costing us billions. In ‘The Drain of Scientific Publishing’ (arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820), (building on ‘The Strain of Scientific Publishing’ doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00327) we show how it is harmful – and unnecessary.

We have new members! Sebastian Lundsteen, Mona Bieling, and Jonatan Palmblad remain from the old team, and we welcome Nike Stolpe Wikström, Aofie O'Leary McNeice, and Gilberto Mazzoli! Updates on what we are doing and planning will follow. Nextgate supports early-career scholars in #EnvHist
