WG Journal: A Student-Led Science Communication Project

Current Topics in Animal Ecology is a popular journal created in collaboration with students that presents current research in animal ecology in an accessible way. In addition to our own work, we feature selected studies from other research groups and translate recent scientific findings into language suitable for a broad audience. The journal thus serves as a platform that connects research, teaching, and science communication.
