Thanks so much! It's been such an amazing experience working under the guidance of Dr. Hulshof @hulshof.bsky.social. Her support has been incredible in helping me to pull these project ideas off and become a scientist. #BiodiversityResearchLab #SeedEcology #LatinxInStem #TropicalForest 🌎🌿🌵

Tropical forests, the most diverse environments on land, offer a stunning example of how complex interrelationships at every level —from roots to canopy—make a stable ecosystem. Politicians, take note from nature.

Aleocharinae termitophiles are affected by habitat fragmentation in deciduous dry forests - Insectes Sociaux Landscape modifications, such as habitat fragmentation, significantly impact wildlife, particularly through edge effects (EE) that alter environmental conditions. Social insects like termites are susc...

New research article! 📰

Siqueira-Rocha et al. show, among other things, that termite-loving beetles living in Constrictotermes cyphergaster termite nests are less abundant near forest edges. 🌳

Biodiversity: A missing link in combating climate change With healthy populations of animals that disperse seeds, tropical forests can absorb up to four times more carbon.

New #MIT research shows a crucial link: While #ClimateChange harms biodiversity, loss of biodiversity jeopardizes #tropicalforest regrowth —a key tool for #ClimateMitigation 🌍

🎉Congratulations 🎓 Dr Sophie Zwartsenberg who defended her PhD thesis @w-u-r.bsky.social about climate & CO2 effects on trees in #tropicalforest

Sophie found that 100y of CO2 rise stimulated tree #photosynthesis, that #treerings are narower during hot & dry years, and more so in drier regions. 🌎🍁

🔥🌳 Up to 96% of African #tropicalforest trees and shrubs may face climate risk by 2085.

Lowland species are most vulnerable, with limited migration options - threatening #biodiversity resilience and calling for stronger, climate-adapted #conservationefforts

Only 19% of REDD+ tropical forest offsets meet targets: Study Only a small number of tropical forests carbon offset projects have achieved significant cuts in deforestation, with just 19 per cent meeting their reported targets, according to a new study published in Science. These offset projects are a part of...
