    How should COVID-19 vaccines be distributed between the Global North and South: a discrete choice experiment in six European countries

    Janina I Steinert, Henrike Sternberg ... Tim Büthe
    In a large discrete choice experiment, respondents from six European countries reveal preferences for global vaccine solidarity, where female, younger, more educated respondents are most likely to prioritise candidates from the Global South in their allocation choices for COVID-19 vaccines.

    Demographic reconstruction from ancient DNA supports rapid extinction of the great auk

    Jessica E Thomas, Gary R Carvalho ... Michael Knapp
    Reconstruction of great auk population dynamics suggests that hunting pressure alone could have been responsible for their extinction, demonstrating that even abundant, widespread species can be vulnerable to intense exploitation.
