New paper alert!🦎Across eight lizard species, we find that animals use different microhabitats for sleep and activity, selecting sleep sites that reduce predation risk and optimize temperature and humidity. #SleepEcology #Herpetology

Our notion of island ecology in India is that islands are pristine, but it is no longer so. @NityaPM @nehrutp

🦌 Spotted deer nibbling away mangroves in the Andamans are stalling forest recovery post the 2004 tsunami.

🦌 Introduced by the British, these deer now threaten mangrove diversity, says @nehrutp. "The mangroves should have recovered after the tsunami, but they didn’t."

Experts @NityaPM @buceros82 call for early detection and management with the broad impacts in consideration.

We all know deer are herbivores, so how are they causing a decline in lizard populations? Watch the video to find out more!

[Ecology Explained @ecologyxplained]

An interesting study (by @NityaPM, S. Harikrishnan, @ksivakumarwii and Karthikeyan Vasudevan) found that the spotted deer, an alien species introduced by the British, is now causing a reduction in the lizard population on the Andaman archipelago.

~Spotted Deer, Lizards & Colonialism~

There's been much discussion about colonialism's impact on India, but one often overlooked aspect is its effect on the region's ecology.

[Bibiana Rojas @biobiiana]

Really bad move of one of my favourite journals 🙁 I hope the @BritishEcolSoc reconsiders this decision –it only contributes to increasing inequality (Yes, I have read the answer about Research4Life and 50% waivers, but this is bad news, mostly to the #GlobalSouth, regardless!)!

Sleep occurs across animals, yet we know almost nothing about interactions among sleep, ecology, and environmental change. Our new systematic review led by Helena Norman reviews sleep in fish and avenues for future research in this fascinating field: https://t.co/knN7q6I7Hk

[Manu Awasthi @mnwsth]

Yes. The age limit of 35 is bogus and needs to go.

This is 2024 for crying out loud.

I am surprised that there hasn't been any public interest litigation around this.
