An amazing week dedicated to #tropicalecology🌴🦇 Led by Jorge Palmeirim @TMB_cE3c, the 7th European Tropical Ecology Conference brought together +250 participants & 37 countries! Many thanks to everyone who helped making Lisbon + tropical🙌 #gtoe24 @soctropecol @cienciasulisboa

Bringing some tropical vibes to Portugal! Team #bees @pal_biology and team #dungbeetles @KL_Holzmann with some first exciting results at #gtoe2024 this week 🐝🪲

Using LIDAR, scientists estimate that more than 10,000 Pre-Columbian archaeological sites likely rest undiscovered throughout the Amazon basin. Learn more on #WorldLidarDay: scim.ag/5Qm

Cacao 🌳🍫 agroforestry has a lot to teach us! Come to learn about birds🦅, bats🦇 and pollinators🦟🌸 at #gtoe2024 @AgroEcoDiv @soctropecol @PabloAycart

Follow @PabloAycart for more interesting info about birds and bats in cacao agroforestry🍫🌳🦅🦇

Meet the hairy big-eyed bat (Chiroderma villosum), one of the amazing phyllostomid bats we found in the #ECOCACAO agroforests 🦇🌳🍫 Although many phyllostomids are great seed dispersers, this is not the most effective one, as they chew the seeds to benefit from their nutrients

Variable shifts in bird and bat assemblages as a result of reduced-impact logging revealed after 10 years 🦇 Demonstrates how best practice forestry and logging can maintain healthy vertebrate populations over the long term 🌲 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Descubrir una nueva especie animal es apasionante. Y aún más si pertenece a un género completamente nuevo y hace que repensemos nuestros conocimientos sobre cómo evolucionaron las especies de la zona. Es lo que ha ocurrido con el sapo volcánico de Kenia. ¡Abrimos hilo! 🧵

I'm starting fundraising to help 7 amazing young Peruvian scientists train in Sweden & the US. In January2024, they will travel abroad for a 12-week research internship. Please, help me with any size contribution and spread the word. #AcademicTwitter #RT gofund.me/6b6f1bda

#agroforestry is the future of agriculture in the tropics but co-designing agroforestry systems that are climate-proof and profitable remains a challenge. Pleased to present our agroforestry design tool (cacaodiversity.org). Here is how it works.

Hoy vamos a hacer un ejercicio de observación para darnos cuenta de cómo se genera uno de los principales problemas de la agricultura: la erosión y la pérdida de suelo. 👇🧵

Some things come to an end. After 7 months of cacao, motocars extremely full of material and hours of walking, #ECOCACAO second season is over. Different background now, but looking forward to seeing the results of our work🍫🌳🐜🐝

1/5 With data from nine sites in Colombia, our new paper explores how prominent threats to tropical forests threaten carnivore persistence in a changing world @NicolasJDeere @MattD_Hyde @ChioBZ D. Stasiukynas @epayangarrido sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Key results:
