In this paper we combine a meta-analysis showing that urban mosquitoes are crowded as larvae, with experimental work showing crowded larvae a more infectious as adults. An intriguing, horrible synergistic consequence of urbanisation.

There are an amazing diversity of places where biodiversity exists outside PAs that could possibly be OECMs. I took a look at what types of areas have been suggested so far: doi.org/10.1111/conl... There is lots of work to be done answering the question - which of these areas should be OECMs?

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Principles of experimental design for ecology and evolution
Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph. November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.
