1. Introduction of: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378025000524

highlighted: "In this study, we rely on two established and inclusive definitions of climate change anxiety. Van Valkengoed et al. (2023) define climate change anxiety as “persistent anxiety (apprehensiveness) and worry about climate change […]” (p. 259). Second, the American Psychological Association (2020) describes eco-anxiety as “any anxiety or worry about climate change and its effects.” Based on these definitions, and following recent calls to “defragment” psychological constructs in the pursuit of generating cumulative knowledge (Anvari et al., 2025), we use the umbrella term “climate change anxiety” to broadly refer to people’s feelings of anxiety and/or worry related to climate change."

I think it is important to highlight findings in the meta-analysis done by ‪@clarakuehner.bsky.social‬, Corinna Gemmecke, Joachim Hüffmeier and @hanneszacher.bsky.social

Especially the one in the red box 👇 and to clarify the definition used for "Climate Change Anxiety" in the green box.

Great focal article!
I can recommend the book “Animals as Workers” by Frédérick Houssay, printed 1901 in German language in Leipzig. It has sections on animal industries, warfare of ants, building up stocks, setting up housing, beavers building dams, intelligence of bees, and many more 🐝
