The #LivingPlanetIndex is an important tool to monitor animal populations. In a recent preprint, @crcruzr.bsky.social shows that the reported downward trends are driven by data gaps and population sizes reported as 0, and not only population decline. 🧪🌎 epic-biodiversity.org/blog/2026/05...

This effort has been spearheaded by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social. If you're a native speaker or already fluent in English, you might not consider your English proficiency a privilege, but it actually is. Being non-fluent in English comes w/ many disadvantages, as shown👇 (tinyurl.com/yc4nm8he). (2/10)

Fig 5 from the PLOS Biology paper Amano et al. (2023)

Figure title: Estimated disadvantages for non-native English speakers when conducting different scientific activities.

Figure description provided in the Amano et al. paper: The height of hurdles indicates the relative length of time taken to read an English-language paper (Reading), to write a paper in English (Writing), and to prepare an oral presentation in English (Presentation), and the relative frequency of an English-language paper being rejected (Paper rejection) or requested to revise (Paper revision) due to English writing, for non-native English speakers (Non-native), compared to native English speakers (Native). The values are for non-native English speakers who have published only one English-language paper (higher value from moderate and low English proficiency nationalities), compared to the values for native English speakers. This figure is not intended to suggest that science is a race.

It's a summer conference season, so I thought I'd tell you about the tremendous efforts our conservation biology colleagues have been making to make conferences more INCLUSIVE & friendly to early career researchers (ECRs) not fluent in English. I find their accomplishments truly inspiring. 🧵(1/10)
