Springer Nature Discovers MDPI – The Strain on Scientific Publishing Home page for the paper ‘The Strain on Scientific Publishing’ by Mark A Hanson, Dan Brockington, Paolo Crosetto and Pablo Gomez Barreiro

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?

Fox carcass in fresh snow

Winter has taken its toll. This poor fox paid; a bunch of raven collected. All very dramatic!

Wolf hunting suspension lifted in Estonia Wolf hunting can continue in Estonia after an appeal by the Environmental Board was upheld by the Tallinn Circuit Court on Monday.

As an ecologist, I fail to see how culling a population would "prevent and reduce damage caused by wolves" as empty niches would simply be filled by new individuals.

Orbea tapscottii in the Waterberg, South Africa

Apocynaceae is remarkably diverse. I am especially fascinated by the Ceropegieae tribe. This photo shows Orbea tapscottii in the Waterberg, South Africa. This individual appears to have disappeared after a veld fire.

Zambezi mistletoe, a parasite, on velvet corkwood, somewhere in Lapalala Wilderness

Parasitc plants are fascinating, and easily overlooked. Some time ago I found this Agelanthus sambesiacus (Zambezi mistletoe) somewhere along a road in the Waterberg, South Africa.

Estonia is probably the best country in Europe to observe lynx in the wild. This is the third year in a row that I see these cats around the house.
