Professor Heinsohn said swift parrots were not the only species where the fabric of society was threatened by too few females. Scientists at ANU have found a chronic shortage of females in a critically endangered parrot species has led to love triangles, sneaky sex on the side, increased fighting between males and fewer babies.
A story by Nadia Drake in The Atlantic, about our face-to-face encounter with a jaguar during a research expedition to the remotest part of the Peruvian Amazon.
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/05/the-jaguar-is-made-for-the-age-of-humans/558650 I was interviewed about the scientific expedition I led to the Candamo valley in the south-eastern Peruvian Amazon. The interview was produced by the Blue Planet (Kék Bolygó) program of the M1 TV channel and it was broadcasted on the 26th June 2017 in Hungary. Turn on the English subtitle!

Elizabeth Devitt from Mongabay interviewed me about my PhD research.
When a massive road project connected the ports of Brazil to the shipping docks of Peru in 2011, spanning the South American continent, conservationists predicted widespread impacts on wildlife living along the route that stretches almost 5,500 kilometers (about 3,400 miles). Roads are a well-documented source of habitat fragmentation, interfering with access to available habitat for many terrestrial and tree-dwelling species. However, it wasn’t clear whether or not birds are able to fly over these barriers. George Olah, a biologist from the Australian National University, set out to see if they can... We have launched our crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the postproduction of a 26-minute documentary of macaw conservation research in the rainforest of Peru.
