Tropical forests can recover rapidly after disturbance, but certain old-growth specialist trees will be missing. A study in Costa Rica shows that low abundance and low seed production hold back these trees, suggesting targeted plantings could help. In PNAS: ow.ly/Shla50ZtWMN

More forest cover in the landscape benefits everyone. Whether in a forest patch or a coffee farm, the probability of finding forest specialists, generalists, and open-area birds increases with forest cover. So do different bird dietary guilds. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Scientific innovation is essential to knowledge. In the hypermodern condition, novelty risks becoming a prerequisite for legitimacy rather than the outcome of inquiry. In Hypermodern Times, Gilles Lipovetsky describes a culture of acceleration. What if science adopts that tempo?
