Fresh off the road from an extraordinary 2 week Kenya fieldtrip where we saw more species of animals in the wild than I've seen in the past 5-10 years altogether. Some incredibly valuable conservation lessons learnt and amazing memories made! Asante sana to everyone involved! #Kenya #conservation

An amazing 2 weeks on the Conserv & Biodiv MSc Kenya fieldtrip . Great cohort of students 🙌🏼 We hope you’re all inspired by the talented Kenyan scientists you met and feel better equipped to tackle complex conservation challenges. We even saw one of the famous white colobus monkeys of Mt Kenya 🌍

Just returned from our MSc Conservation & Biodiversity Kenya Field Course. I found time to VLOG capturing the main lessons, people, ecosystems and species we encountered. (links below). To all those that helped, "Asante Sana". 🌍🧪🦤 🐘 🦊 🦒🦜 🦁 www.instagram.com/bjgodley/ www.tiktok.com/@brendan.god...

Warmer temperatures cause lower hatchling success and a greater percentage of female turtles, both of which can disrupt the viability of a species. Sand temperatures at sea turtle nesting sites globally are projected to increase by about 0.6°C to about 4.2°C by 2100. phys.org/news/2023-10...

Menopause is a peculiar human feature that fascinates evolutionary biologists. But now it turns out that female chimpanzees go through menopause, too. Here’s my story on this new mystery tinyurl.com/efkrhsnd [Gift link] 🧪

Convincing evidence that chimpanzees go through menopause. Is it possible that menopause used to be common in chimpanzees but has become rare as chimpanzees face threats from people and possibly die younger? Commentary from Mike Cant #ExeterCEC @uniofexeter.bsky.social
