We have pointed to stories about activism and entrepreneurship in the interest of protecting animal habitat plenty of times, but not so much on the science of the field work. As part of its Climate Desk collaboration Mother Jones shares this article originally published by Undark, written by Marta Zaraska, that addresses some of the science of species-specific safe spaces:

In 2016, Ox Lennon was trying to peek in the crevices inside a pile of rocks. They considered everything from injecting builders' foam into the tiny spaces to create a mold to dumping a heap of stones into a CT scanner. Still, they couldn't get the data they were after: how to stack rocks so that a mouse wouldn't squeeze through, but a small lizard could hide safely inside.
