Beyond moose
Technological mediation increasingly shapes how audiences encounter and interpret biodiversity. Digital nature programming, including livestreams and curated highlight formats, offers new opportunities for connection but also risks selective representations of ecological complexity. This study examines Den Stora Älgvandringen ( DSÄ ), a Swedish slow-TV nature broadcast centred on the moose migration, and its system of digitally curated höjdpunkte…
Virtual oceans
In marine science, VR technologies are being used to model underwater space and enable virtual geoscience fieldtrips for teaching and research. The vast potential in adapting these technologies alongside their speedy application suggests challenges in relation to the standardization of these technologies and what forms of representation come to matter in these contexts. This raises the question regarding how the use of VR technologies produce and…
Exuberant Life as Existential Anxiety
The increase and spread of algae signal increasingly ‘awkward’ relations between them and humans. To what extent, however, might literary depictions of algae reframe and nuance such tensions? Taking seriously an environmental humanities ambition to foment ‘mutual flourishing’, I argue that representations of algae in fiction highlight an existential anxiety over algae’s capacity to embody extreme exuberance. Through an analysis of stories where h…
Practicing More-Than-Human Walks
Walking contributes to producing space.Yet, walking 'more-than-human' geographies suggests that walking as a research method is also a more-than-human affair.Building on theories of hybrid and more-than-human geographies, this article provides theoretical and practical reflections upon walking as method in the context of more-than-human relations.Specifically, we narrate two experiments with 'more-than-human walks,' highlighting the importance of…

Digital wildlife expeditions and their impact on human-wildlife relations
Tracking, viewing and livestreaming wildlife in situ but online has enabled new relations of proximity and immediacy to proliferate among people who experience few real-life encounters with wild animals. Innovating affordances of programs, broadcasts, and citizen science apps to foster virtual encounters, both with the wild animals in front of the camera, and between other human users following them, now generate an arena of vicarious consumption…
Ethical Challenges in Mariculture
As mariculture—the cultivation of aquatic organisms in marine environment—intensifies to meet the demands of sustainable blue growth and national policies, novel ethical challenges will arise. In the context of ethics, primary concerns over aquaculture and mariculture tend to stay within differing value-based perspectives focused on benefits to human and non-human subjects, specifically animal welfare and animal rights. Nonetheless, the burgeonin…
Inequality persists in a large citizen science programme despite increased participation through ICT innovations
Biological recording is a prominent and widely practised form of citizen science, but few studies explore long-term demographic trends in participation and knowledge production. We studied long-term demographic trends of age and gender of participants reporting to a large online citizen science multi-taxon biodiversity platform ( www.artportalen.se ). Adoption by user communities and continually developing Information and Communications Technolog…
Citizen Observations as Legal Obligations
There is an increasing international trend in environmental activism to use legal institutions and infrastructures for citizen science (CS) to affect policy and regulation. However, knowledge about observations produced in activist CS and their functions at courts is scarce. To address this, we analyze how citizen observations (COs) reported to an established infrastructure for CS assist in producing legal obligations. Sweden provides an exemplar…
Bringing Together Species Observations
Biodiversity informatics produces global biodiversity knowledge through the collection and analysis of biodiversity data using informatics techniques. To do so, biodiversity informatics relies upon data accrual, standardization, transferability, openness, and “invisible” infrastructure. What biodiversity informatics mean to society, however, cannot be adequately understood without recognizing what organizes biodiversity data. Using insights from …
I Saw You Running Home
Crossing the Line, or, Death at the Equator
Starting from crossing the equator every week in the back of a truck on Ecuador’s coastline, this personal essay reflects on the equator as a geographical and cultural space. Specifically, I focus
