The Insect Ecology Group are launching the Ecological and Social studies in Smallholder Tropical Agriculture (ESSTA) project. This project will be linked closely to the BEFTA Programme and will explore ecological, social and interdisciplinary dynamics within oil palm smallholdings.#ESSTA

The #ESSTA project is working in partnership with local collaborators and smallholders in Peninsula Malaysia, to research how management decisions impact ecological communities, functions and crop yield. 👩🏻‍🌾🌴🦋

Five wood ant nests in Westerham. These are too close to be separate colonies; more likely an example of polydomy, multiple satellite nest heaps around the main centre.
