New article in @sciencemagazine reporting @IUCNRedList assessments for all tree species in the #AtlanticForest reveals a very worrying picture: a 🧵 doi.org/10.1126/scienc… #extinction #conservation #Endangered #BiodiversityCrisis #wildlife #BiodiversityHotspot #ScienceResearch

New article co-authored by a large team of researchers from 28 countries! It updates the Global Wood Density Database (GWDD) and presents a comprehensive synthesis of the global extent of inter and intraspecific variation in wood density 🌲🌳🌴 doi.org/10.1111/nph.70…

And the connection between successional groups and key functional traits was less clear than we had anticipated.

This classification using the Atlantic Forest data didn’t quite align with the traditional classifications of successional groups found in the literature

New article published @JEcology uses a wide dataset for the #AtlanticForest to challenge classical ideas on #TropicalForest secondary succession. A thread doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Our paper on using #eDNA from rainwater to study hidden biodiversity in #tropical #forest #canopies is now out in @ScienceAdvances! This method is a major step forward for the study and #conservation of this inaccessible compartiment. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Photo: J. Raynaud

Happy to share the preprint of our work on rain #eDNA to study tropical forest biodiversity 🌧️🧬🌴

Oi pessoal, vamos aos poucos migrar essa conta para o @bluesky. Vamos usar o handler 'treeco-db.bsky.social'. Nos vemos por lá! We are slowly migrating this account to @bluesky, using the handle 'treeco-db.bsky.social'. See you there!

🚨Cinco bolsas, RT por favor🚨 O nosso #PPBio-AmOr (Amazônia Oriental) abriu edital p/ seleção de 5 bolsistas c/ duração de ate 24 meses. Detalhes no edital: bit.ly/Edital-PPBio-A… Aplique via: bit.ly/PPBio-AmOr-1 🌳🌴🦟🪲🐜🦋🪰🐠🦜🦥🌴🌳

Seleção de bolsistas aberta até 14/4 para trabalhar no SinBiAm! Inscreva-se e divulgue!

Os impactos do PL 364/2019 serão GRAVES. Ele não só ataca TODOS OS BIOMAS, como acaba com a Lei da Mata Atlântica e de qualquer lei especial de proteção ambiental em todo território nacional! #SalveOCódigoFlorestal #SalveaMataAtlântica

Feliz de ter apresentado o contexto e resultados do projeto THREAT para a comunidade da @pg_esalq_usp 🙏 #AtlanticForest #trees #extinction

Mayday! Mayday!🚨 Biggest fear every day is that this building isn’t resisting much. This is the ICN + Natural History Museum facilities, holding the largest, historical scientific collections in Colombia. It’s falling apart. Structural damage, permanent leaks, fire/ flood risks

The need (and demand) for forest tree plot data is greater than ever. But should they be open? This debate considers some of the key issues for Europe NFIs, including the integrity of the plots themselves. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
