Congratulations Dr Katie Devenish for passing her viva today. Thanks to Truly Santika and Eleanor Warren-Thomas ewt.bsky.social who examined her fabulous thesis about environmental tradeoffs with mining in a biodiversity hotspot. Read one of her pasitera here. More to come! nature.com/articles/s4189…

New paper led by Shuli Chen out in Nature today! We test hypotheses to explain contrasting forest drought responses across the Amazon, finding that water-table depth, soil fertility &functional traits(inc tree height) underpin resilience vs vulnerability nature.com/articles/s4158…

Artisanal mining is a disaster for biodiversity. Or is it? Our new paper in Communications Earth & Environment presents some surprising results from a mining rush involving 10s of 1000s of people searching for sapphires in a new PA in Madagascar's eastern rainforests. nature.com/articles/s4324…
