🐻 New Research - Who welcomes the bear: Evidence for a disconnect between attitudes and acceptability of killing brown bears ➡️ buff.ly/d4hqs0t A study in Iran recommends gender-inclusive outreach and economic diversification for bear conservation

I'm happy to share our new article, published in People and Nature, in collaboration with a great team including @danialnayeri.bsky.social, Alireza Mohammadi, Alistair Bath, and Mohammad Farhadinia, exploring attitudes toward killing brown bears.

I am happy to share our new article, published in Biological Conservation, in collaboration with a fantastic team including Danial Nayeri, Alireza Mohammadi, Mohammad Farhadinia, Jeremy Bruskotter, and John A. Vucetich, exploring attitudes toward killing in the name of conservation (KITNOC).

It was once said that a squirrel could travel through longleaf pine canopies from Virginia to Texas without touching the ground. But today, these majestic trees have declined by 90% from their original range and are now considered an endangered and vulnerable ecosystem.

Science friends! Many of you, alarmed by grant funding cuts that make expensive field ecology research difficult or impossible, have been thinking about what to do instead. Great idea. Some of you have been saying "I'll just do some social science surveys," without learning how. Bad idea! 🧵🧪

Lovely burrow-inspired art! Gopher tortoises are the ecosystem engineers & the "landlords" of longleaf pine-wiregrass communities in south Georgia, with this cutaway view showing why. 🧪🎨

How can #birding be more accessible to people with #disability? See our research on constraints and facilitators!

I haven't seen a conservation social sciences starter pack so I decided to make one #ConSocSci #MarSocSci I am sure that I have missed people... please help me identify more people to add and let me know if you'd like me to add you! go.bsky.app/AdXdpZd
