Even the #WorldBank acknowledges that humanity has over-exploited the planet, gone beyond its safe boundaries, and that our economic system is to blame openknowledge.worldbank.org/server/api/c... Good start, but they mention nothing about the fact that we are too many doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...

Fear of humans Many animals avoid contact with people. In protected areas of the African savanna, mammals flee more intensely upon hearing human conversations than when they hear lions or sounds associated with hunting. This fear of humans affects how species use and move in their habitat.…

I was tired of all the pro-natalist bullshit (even from the ABC), so we wrote a paper (preprint still) about the relationship between population growth, ageing, and the #economy No evidence ageing or declining populations compromise socio-economic performance of countries doi.org/10.48550/arX...

A long life can be a disadvantage Deep-sea sharks include some of the longest-lived vertebrates known. The record holder is the Greenland shark, with a recently estimated maximum age of nearly 400 years. Their slow life cycle makes them vulnerable to fisheries. Humans rarely live longer than 100…

Genetics to the rescue Procreating with a relative is taboo in most human societies for many reasons, but they all stem from avoiding one thing in particular — inbreeding increases the risk of genetic disorders that can seriously compromise a child's health, life prospects, and survival. While we…

Journal editors struggling to find reviewers — there are some bloody good reasons why I used to think it was merely a post-COVID19 hiccough, but the extensive delays in receiving reviews for submitted manuscripts that I am seeing near constantly now are the symptoms of a much larger problem. That…

The colour of survival In boreal forests, many hares adopt white winter coats before the snow arrives. In a snowless landscape, these white hares lack camouflage against predators. However, their early moult from brown into white fur can increase their survival and offers an advantage as the snow…
