Really excited about our new pub on how health (of people, animals, and ecosystems) can affect, and are affected by, human-wildlife interactions

tinyurl.com/OneHealthHWIs

In the BioScience One Health collection @aibsbiology.bsky.social 🧪

🎉 Excited to share our new publication, out now in BioScience: “Health as an outcome and driver of human-wildlife interactions”

Check it out here: tinyurl.com/OneHealthHWIs

Huge thanks to @mhmurray.bsky.social for leading us, and to the rest of our amazing team!

Figure 2 from the described publication: A conceptual framework showing the links among human health, wildlife health, and environmental health in the context of human-wildlife interactions as well as key guiding questions to advance health equity and human-wildlife coexistence. The three main components of health included in the diagram are human health, wildlife health, and environmental health. Questions included are "Who disproportionately experiences the health benefits and risks of HWI?", "Who is more likely to experience HWI because of land use and climate change?", and "How do human actions to promote or prevent HWI affect wildlife health?"

Have you ever cited or come across a mention of the 'human shield hypothesis' and wondered: what is the evidence for this hypothesis, and what is the quality of that evidence? Wonder no more!

The Human Shield Hypothesis: Does Predator Avoidance of Humans Create Refuges for Prey?
The human shield hypothesis posits that predators avoid areas of human disturbance due to perceived risk from humans, and prey therefore seeks refuge in these areas of perceived safety. Our systemati....

We believe sport can help save species. 🦁⚽

In our new @FrontEcolEnviron paper, we explore how professional teams, fans & conservationists can team up to turn iconic mascots into real-world action for biodiversity. 🌍🏟️

Tiny Diel.Niche R package update, bin.diel.times() outputs the proportion of time diel periods take up over a day (e.g., night, day, twilight) by setting prop.time = TRUE. VERY helpful if you want to quantify use of a given diel period relative to availability! #rstats 🧪
