Happy to share our new publication =] "Untangling the complex food webs of tropical rainforest streams" Are these food webs stable despite the high dynamism of tropical ecosystems? Our results support a strong role of biodiversity and mobile predators! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Read the #storybehindthepaper by Dr. Saito and colleagues, who found the systems of rocky streams in the Atlantic Rainforest to be highly complex and diverse, which results in high stability. @vs_saito @drDanPerkins @AgenciaFAPESP @ufscaroficial buff.ly/4eiszDa

En plena temporada de campo tenemos al equipo del proyecto TrophicStress analizando en ríos redes troficas con pesca eléctrica y captura de macroinvertebrados. Que bonito e interesante trabajo,!¡y más en estos días de calor! @tano_gc @Ignasiarranz @URJCcientifica
There is still much to understand about these beautiful rainforest streams! End of a great week sampling with @drDanPerkins @eujosemello @kurt_ecology thanks to @CAPES_Oficial @AgenciaFAPESP @ufscaroficial How will these systems cope with further environmental changes?
