As researchers, we often frame human-nature relationships as positive, but we have overlooked the opposite: biophobia. In our systematic review, we outline the phenomenon of growing numbers of people feeling fear, aversion or disgust toward nature: doi.org/10.1002/fee....
Toward a unified understanding of people’s aversion to nature: biophobia
Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespre...

Researchers in the Pacific Northwest knew little about the western spotted skunk, a tiny, elusive critter that roams Western forests. So graduate student Marie Tosa spent two years tracking the species through the Oregon woods, getting sprayed dozens of times in the process.

The curious incident of the antlers in the springtime 🦌
During 2024 spring fieldwork, I spotted a female caribou, for a split second through binoculars, growing fuzzy antlers when she should have had mature antlers. She ran away before anyone else saw. 🧪(1/6)
