New article is out! We looked at animal behavior as a success measure of management for coexistence, and found that black bears avoided neighborhoods where bear-resistant cans were used. Huge thanks to co-authors and collaborators for their help with this work!

New on global conservation science:
Parasites are vital to ecosystems but often overlooked in conservation. Bridging social science and philosophy can shift perceptions and support strategies that protect both parasites and their hosts.
