Capturing the DNA of the rainforest in the rain 🌧️🧬 to describe the biodiversity hidden in tropical forests canopies 🌳🙈🪲✨

Our work on rain eDNA now translated for a younger audience! For teachers looking for examples! #STEM #TropicalBiology #eDNA #TeacherSupport #ScienceOutreach

Moreover, we find that polyploid species have more loci under positive selection, particularly in genes relating to chemical defence against herbivores, a key ecological pressure on tropical trees 🐛

A lively debate on whether agroecology can help us achieve social wellbeing and conservation in the tropics, the short answer is yes, but it is also a socially, culturally, and politically complex question #ATBC2025 #tropicalbiology #Oaxaca

I propose carrying capacity (and deviations from) as gold standard biodiversity metric. It can be expressed as a power law which is beautifully ubiquitous and an emergent property of systems. #ATBC2025 #tropicalbiology #biodiversityCredits

2️⃣ 🔥 The 🏝️ island Borneo is a Radiator—it generates diversity and spreads it around! 🌿 Meanwhile, 🌏 Southeast Asia and the 🏝️ islands New Guinea & Sulawesi are 🥚 Incubators, evolving new species in isolation. #TropicalBiology
