Watch out for the next generation of tropical ecologists and #insect taxonomists. Amazonian #fieldwork already finished in two regions, moving our lab to the next region tomorrow! A joint effort to monitor insect biodiversity changes across the tropics. #WeAreUKRI #UKRIFLF #CienciaBrasileira #CNPq

An overwhelming majority of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is unauthorized (illegal). A data-driven report from August/2023 to July/2024, cross-referencing deforestation with clearing permits, confirms this heartbreaking reality. Read more below ⬇️ #AmazonDeforestation #LawEnforcement

The BCI book is out! Almost 100 chapters of science about Barro Colorado Island plant and ecosystem science. scholarlypress.si.edu/store/all/th... Edited by STRI colleagues Helene Muller-Landau and Joe Wright. When I get my hardcopy, I'll want to read this cover to cover (1/2)

The taxonomic biases in biodiversity data are growing over time. The amount of data we are collecting is growing, but the biases get bigger. We need to make a conscious effort to study the understudied! #SciComms #Science #Taxonomy 🧪 image from Troudet et al 2018 @natureportfolio.bsky.social

There are many ways in which the potential marriage of the goals tackling climate change and restoring biodiversity is a good thing. But also real dangers of an abusive relationship if biodiversity is subordinated to an overpowering drive for carbon sequestration and biofuels.

The little things we find doing #fieldwork in the #AmazonForest. Unsure about the wasp species, but amazed with the nest structure.
