Hey tropical ecosystem enthusiasts! Please welcome Dr. Rhett Harrison, who is the new Editor-in-Chief of Biotropica!

Three Generations of Biotropica Editors-in-Chief!

Going to ATBC in Oaxaca? Please join us for two Biotropica events on Tuesday: How to publish your scientific results and an informal Meet and Greet with the Biotropica Editorial Board. This is your opportunity to get to know Biotropica!

Here's a "must read" for everyone interested in mechanisms of secondary forest regeneration onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New database of tropical root data!!

Yup! We publish lots of seed dispersal studies!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

A little blog piece about our recent visit (and collaboration on) to an ambitious new #rewilding project southern Namibia with Natural State and ORKCA… www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/rewildi...

Happy Friday, everyone!

Interested in integrating art and biology at the university level? Feel free to join this free online symposium!

120 Years of "Lemurology" (study of lemurs): what has changed? Read our newly published paper in Biotropica to find out more.

Our most recent paper - led by #AnkitaSinha and assessing spatio-temporal patterns among specialist river birds in the Indian Himalaya - has made the cover of @biotropica.bsky.social Free to air here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... and here www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Las #invasionesbiológicas siguen patrones globales. El Paleártico, el Neártico y Australasia son los principales receptores, mientras que también el Neártico, la región indomalaya y el trópico africano son donantes clave. El comercio global juega un rol importante en este intercambio de especies 👇

Want to come up to speed with lemurology? This paper is your chance! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

We still have such a long way to go: Only 4% (!!!) of articles on lemurs in WebOfScience-listed journals is first-authored by Malagasy authors, yet Lemurs only occur in #Madagascar. Nice article in @biotropica.bsky.social by an all-Malagsy team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Prestigious journals make it hard for scientists who don’t speak English to get published. And we all lose out theconversation.com/prestigious-...

Applied Ecology Lab - UFRRJ - New paper! We conducted a systematic review of the application of concepts from dynamic systems theory — alternative stable states, tipping points, and hysteresis — in tropical ecosystems. @biotropica.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I am moved to see that part of our 2001 litter traps are still operational after we stopped the phenology study at Nouragues in 2011, then published it in 2018 with @phenogirl.bsky.social in @biotropica.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/btp....

Does anyone know of attempts to mount eddy covariance systems directly to a tree canopy (extending 10-15m above) as an alternative to tower installation?

Some great PhD opportunities here working on the One Crop Health project - including harnessing eDNA approaches for surveillance & management of agro-biodiversity with me & Prof Paul Neve 🌐

Just a few days left to apply for this #pdra position 👇 if you like #forests, #ecology, #lidar and #coding, come and join us!

Fluorescing crabs?? Cool!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Hot off the press! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The Mauna Loa CO₂ record is the most iconic time series in the environmental sciences. Trump and his enablers are trying to kill it.

Earthshot Labs is hiring! If you are a remote sensing scientist with experience using satellite observations for advanced forestry applications, take a look and consider applying. It is a fantastic team on a mission to restore and protect forests worldwide. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/40...

Hey! Biotropica has a new paper category devoted to SYNTHESIS of research programs. We are looking for manuscripts from one study site or group that represent integration of long-term insights and understanding. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
