Temporally‐indexed multi‐species density impact functions: Quantifying timing and impact of invasive predators on seabird breeding success
Conserving threatened species often requires effective predator suppression strategies, particularly on islands where introduced predators pose significant threats. Density-impact functions provide a....

A powerful, persuasive, emotional & evidence-based rebuttal to Wallach & Lundgren’s claims, from Professor John Woinarski.
My own view, it’s essential for science to challenge dogma, but if this is not done in a robust way, using weight of evidence, it is reckless & potentially harmful. #ICCB2025

"Would we consider a chimpanzee, with which we share 98.8% of our genome, to be human after 20 edits?" De-extinction risks distracting us from the protection of our current living species. 🌏🧪
‘De-extinction’ of dire wolves promotes false hope: technology can’t undo extinction
Claims of ‘bringing back’ any species take away focus from proven solutions that can actually fix the extinction crisis.
