Our new paper led by Leo Miranda in @science.org - Comparing #Amazon protection strategies reveals that avoiding deforestation is most cost-effective for carbon storage, while avoiding forest disturbance yields the highest benefits for #biodiversity 🌎🪶🌴🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Protecting tropical forests is more cost-effective for biodiversity and climate than restoration
Halting deforestation and promoting restoration are at the core of strategies to confront the biodiversity and climate crises in tropical forests. Avoiding forest disturbances is also critically important but has received far less attention, and there is ...

Great article in Harvard Business Review on the emergence of 'AI-generated workslop'. Marking student work, reviewing grants, papers etc now takes much longer as I can no longer assume that cited references a) exist or b) are relevant to a potentially spurious case study share.google/GVKpoOVe48Rb...
Text reads: Here’s how this happens. As AI tools become more accessible, workers are increasingly able to quickly produce polished output: well-formatted slides, long, structured reports, seemingly articulate summaries of academic papers by non-experts, and usable code. But while some employees are using this ability to polish good work, others use it to create content that is actually unhelpful, incomplete, or missing crucial context about the project at hand. The insidious effect of workslop is that it shifts the burden of the work downstream, requiring the receiver to interpret, correct, or redo the work. In other words, it transfers the effort from creator to receiver.

Should Ecology be more proactive & vocal on one of the key issues of our times? What systemic & institutional changes are needed for the ecological community to be at the forefront of the response? If these are questions that speak to you, this new paper may be of interest lnkd.in/eXfXG4xM

Our new paper led by Liana Rossi documents loss and turnover of fruit-frugivore interactions in variably-degraded Amazonian forests, with important implications for ecosystem service delivery #Ornithology #Ecology 🌎🧪 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination plot with stress values constructed with weighted Bray–Curtis dissimilarities showing the differences in (a) plant species, (b) frugivore species, and (c) frugivory interactions among forest classes. Each dot represents one of the 17 study areas while ellipses depict the forest classes. Forest classes correspond to: Undisturbed forest, Logged forests, Logged-and-17yburned forests and Logged-and-3y-burned forests.

We quantify, map and analyse wood density across tropical South America. Our analysis led by Martin Sullivan refines the east-west Amazon gradient in wood density, improves it by revealing much finer variation, & extends predictions to Andean, Dry & Atlantic forests. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The numbers are staggering: $8.349 billion was spent on APCs between 2019 and 2023. Adjusting for inflation, annual spending nearly tripled from $910.3M (2019) to $2.538B (2023). 💸 Open Access isn't cheap. But there's more...

Thanks you so much @Wiley for this certificate❤️ I specially thank you for replacing the ñ, not for the classic n, but for the more interesting ± symbol. I see this ± as a deep recognition of the nature of the sometimes difficult job of accepting or rejecting articles Dr. Nu plus/minus ez
