Abstract: Recent scholarship in human-nonhuman multispecies relationships across the social sciences and humanities— often conceptualised as more-than-human lifeworlds—has been increasingly influencing the biological sciences, with new empirical research focussing on human-nonhuman entanglements across locations, practices, encounters, and traditional cultures. Such multispecies ethnographies now recognise that nonhumans can no longer be restricted to their typically objectified status in our cultural imaginations or considered only in terms of their socioeconomic or political utility. Nonhuman lifeforms have now become lively agencies in their own right, active and functional components of our own lifeworlds.
