Very proud of this paper in BioScience :

« Too cute to be wild: what teddy bears reveal about our disconnection from nature »

🧸 are more than toys, they shape among our first emotional connections to nature. But their design may also distort how we see wildlife !

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB!

🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility.

There are a myriad of ways that trees have shaped human behaviour, from shaping sleep to using its products to power our consciousness and societies, as this article shows. In turn, our behaviours can help trees perform vital functions such as pollination.

Read the article here:
The genius of trees: how forests have shaped humanity, from chocolate cravings to our ability to dream
Since our early ancestors came down from the canopy, we may think we have learned how to live without trees. But our lives remain intertwined in incredible ways
