An amazing tour de force on using #soundscapes to test ecological theory in Earth's largest man-made tropical forest archipelago. Also introduces the concept of SoundScape-Area Relationships (SSAR). Excelent work Thomas! UEA Research Instituto Juruá

New paper out! Here we review the literature addressing the links between animals, plants, and carbon, and explore the complex interactions between defaunation and ecosystem carbon in Earth's most biodiverse and carbon-rich biome, tropical rainforests. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Ecstatic to let you know our Map of Life (MOLRA) rapid but integrative & scalable rainforest inventory solution won 2nd place ($2M) out of 298 teams that started the #XPRIZERainforest competition. Thanks to all our 20 team members and UEA Research Map of Life Yale BGC

Yes, the anti-intellectual 'shooting my own foot' propensity of US voters and government puzzles me. Even philanthropists from Brazil, a country with a GDP 13 times smaller than the US now funds US biodiversity science! x.com/xprize/status/…

Responding to the report out today of the 38-day long Conservation International #Expedition by 22 people in 2022 in the Peruvian Andean #Amazon that uncovered 27 new species out of 2048 species identified nytimes.com/2024/12/20/sci… Here's my interview Today: mediaview.aljazeera.com/video/MzFyX39X…

The potential for extreme longevity in most great whales, which can live to a ripe old age of 130+ yrs, has been masked by the demographic disruptions of industrial whaling. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

#Cacao #agroforestry systems may well be a wildlife-friendly land use, but compared to old-growth #forests are at best a half-empty proposition that could become even more degraded. Paper led by Aluane Ferreira #UESC #cacau #cabruca #Cocoa UEA Research authors.elsevier.com/c/1kWyDcA-IvZBv

Environmental crimes still pay in the Brazilian Amazon. Only 5% of 3551 illegal deforestation fines levied (total =R$4.6 bill, 2017-20) were actually paid & hardly any of that money is then reallocated to mitigating actions incl forest restoration across the Amazon Ministério do Meio Ambiente e Mudança do Clima

Forest #fires more prevalent in more fragmented, edge-dense #Amazonian landscapes dominated by cattle pastures rather than cropland cover. Paper led by Ciar Noble based on >113,000km2 area & 185,000 forest patches of the 'Arc of Deforestation' UEA Research doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv…

I'm very happy our MOLRA team was able to train the field protocols at one of our study landscapes in the Amazon.

🔬Science shows we've crossed six of nine planetary boundaries that ensure Earth's stability. Johan Rockström emphasizes the need for systemic change and three levers for a sustainable future. #VillarsSummit2025 #VillarsInstitute
