Out today! nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Habitat fragmentation is the greatest threat to biodiversity⚠️ With extensive epidemiological data, inoculations & eco-eco model we show that isolated wild populations lack resistance diversity, increasing their vulnerability to diseases

Sorry for being tedious, but acts like dissociation, disinvitation, even boycott etc, are also expressive acts - and therefore they are also exercises of freedom of expression, or of ‘speech’, if you insist on using the silly American idiom.

There is a lovely piece about Dr Aoibheann Gaughran in a new book honouring the Women that made Dublin, Her Keys to the City. Dr John Rochford wrote a beautiful and fitting piece about the wonderful person and great Zoologist that Aoibheann was. We miss her terribly.
