Abstract

Highlights: We found that 27 academic fields within the umbrella field of human-animal studies study human-animal relationships. There is a strong differentiation between the fields that study "animals as constructed" vs. those that study "animals as such". All these fields have much to contribute to conservation, but interdisciplinary research collaborations remain scarce.
