Perennial woody crops are important sources of food that can provide ecosystem benefits through their long-lived nature and structural complexity. This Perspective provides a roadmap to harness the po...

We are proud to share that recent research from the Tropical Ecology and Entomology Lab (TEE Lab) at the Asian School of the Environment (ASE), NTU, was featured in The Straits Times as part of the SG...

Urban agriculture is in an intermediate state between traditional urban green spaces and conventional rural farms in terms of environmental impacts, so that its contribution to urban sustainability r....

This month, we proudly celebrated the graduation of Dr. Ong Xin Rui and Dr. Tharaka S. Priyadarshana, who have both been conferred the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)! Their achievements are a te...

City Road Verges Rich in Flowers and Cut Less Often Improve Butterfly Diversity. New research led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) reveals that simple and space-efficient...

What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

Reducing the cutting of plants in road verges and having a greater variety of flowering plants in them improves butterfly numbers and diversity.

We had the amazing opportunity to contribute a commentary for The Straits Times on our recent publication in Ecology Letters, "Identifying the Knowledge and Capacity Gaps in Southeast Asian Insect Con...

A generalizable, functional-trait-based approach for quantifying the effects of disturbances to ecosystem services and economic outcomes, including under climate change, highlights the need for incorp...

Urban road verges, often overlooked as simple roadside greenery, can serve as valuable habitats for butterflies and other insect pollinators (Figure 1). Our recent study explored how these narrow gree...

We are super happy and proud of Dr Tharaka S. Priyadarshana and his successful defense of his PhD thesis, "Conserving invertebrate biodiversity in agricultural and urban landscapes". His research is a...

As ecology tackles progressively larger problems, we are moving beyond the scales at which randomised controlled experiments are feasible. Using observational data for causal inference raises the pro...

The impacts of degradation and deforestation on tropical forests are poorly understood, particularly at landscape scales. We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conve...

Nature Sustainability - Perennial woody crops are important sources of food that can provide ecosystem benefits through their long-lived nature and structural complexity. This Perspective provides...

Towards the end of 2024, the TEE Lab went for a scenic late afternoon walk along the Southern Ridges before ending it off with a delicious Vietnamese dinner. Check out this photo stream our fun walk a...

lenging, but these skills are often glossed over in training. Campbell and Stanley’s framework for causal inference has been extraordinarily influential in social science training programs but has rec...

A 1.5-fold gap exists in green space cooling adaptation between cities in the Global South and North. Enhancing urban green space quality and quantity offers vast potential for improving outdoor cooli...
