Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

New to town: home range size, habitat selection and behavioral adaptations by urban hares
European hares Lepus europaeus have recently been shown to colonize urban areas in different parts of Europe. This appears to be a novel phenomenon, and little is known about the space use and behavioral adaptations of hares living in urban areas. Here, we describe the first findings concerning home range sizes from GPS‐collared hares (n = 3) in Aarhus

Green City and connected habitats? Assessing the impact of urbanization on mammal diversity
As urban expansion fragments natural habitats, there is a growing concern to improve green patch connectivity for biodiversity within cities globally. Focusing on Freiburg, Germany, one of the greenest cities in Europe, we investigated how patch connectivity is shaping mammal occurrences and species‐specific consequences in urban areas. We particularly

Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.
