An Octopus cyanea decloaking and recloaking

[RESEARCH] Over 421 million wild-caught animals were traded under CITES between 1998 and 2018, a new paper from The University of Hong Kong, Lingnan University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK & NUS reveals. Largest exporters: Indonesia, Jamaica & Honduras Largest importer: USA advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/19/e…

As a journal editor, I have just checked the stats for 10 papers I am handling. 68 review invites sent 13 accepted 32 declined 23 no response. Finding reviewers is getting harder and harder, and peer review needs everyone to engage for it to work. Academic Chatter™

"We are all undeniably part of the problem, even those who are conducting research specifically aimed at being part of the solution" Must read ed by P Grogan in ESA Frontiers on the need to raise awareness & reduce the environmental footprint of our work esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…

Such an important message and one that we must learn to live with: "Watersheds may not recover from drought" science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

[New Paper] One's connection to nature is predicted by family values, social norms and personal experiences of nature (not just personal experiences of nature alone, as is the common narrative!) doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc… 🥳🥳another PhD chapter out of the door! Tschüss!

To be honest, it was worse than I expected. Here's my 6 years of James Cook Uni PhD results: researchonline.jcu.edu.au/52649/ Human activity (mostly #WildlifeTrade) is now the primary cause of new waves of amphibian mass mortality & extinction by #disease. We must fix this: nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl…

When a logistic regression causes your R session to freeze, it’s because it’s too logit to quit.

[PAPER] Chinese organized crime and the illegal wildlife trade: diversification and outsourcing in the Golden Triangle New paper from @UtrechtUni's Daan van Uhm and The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK's Rebecca Wong on the Xaysavang Network, Zhao Wei Transnational Criminal Org and others.

Great opportunity to work in a fantastic lab!
