Few voices have shaped our connection to the natural world like Sir David Attenborough's. His remarkable storytelling has inspired generations of zoologists, conservationists, ecologists, and nature lovers, reminding us why nature is worth protecting.

🎂Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough🌍
Great to see the Oxford Mail reflecting on Zoology in Oxford and the many people who’ve helped shape the field over the years bit.ly/4uBb2NM
Sir David has inspired many conservationists here in Oxford and we are proud to have had him visit us.
Thrilled to share our new paper out in @science.org, led by François Leroy and Petr Keil! Using the Breeding Bird Survey, we document not only a continent-wide decline in bird abundance since the 1980s — but, crucially, the acceleration of these declines over time. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

En la 📷 hay un pollo de Chorlitejo chico (Thinornis dubius) que ha escapado del peligro gracias a su capacidad de camuflarse.
🧐 Lo ves? Nivel difícil.
1/ Domestic cats are among the most common pets but when allowed to roam freely, they can pose serious risks to biodiversity, especially in protected natural areas: predation, disease transmission, and even hybridization with closely related species like the European wildcat.
New, and sad, OA paper
We describe how the European polecat has recently vanished from its last stronghold in Catalonia

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
