One motivation behind this review was that recently, I learned that neurobiologists knew of Ludwig Edinger while paleontologists knew of Tilly Edinger, his daugther. It made me realized how much, we had been disconnected from one another. I hope that this review brings these fields closer again βΊοΈ

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, youβll be surprised!

UK maps showing changes in temperatures for typical summer days and hot summer days.
1Β°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1Β°C.
Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4Β°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led speciesβ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides
βHalf the tree of life disappearing in one human lifetime.β
As this heartbreaking eulogy makes clear, the amount of beauty & wonder weβve lost is truly overwhelming.
