1/8 Lizards run faster in the heat, so why do we catch them more in the dry season? 🤔🦎 Our new study in @biotropica.bsky.social uncovers how locomotor performance—not just rain or temperature—drives population dynamics in the Brazilian Cerrado. 🧵👇 [Link to paper: doi.org/10.1111/btp....

1/7 🔥🦎 Why now? Due to social media restrictions in Brazil last year (BSKY > X 👀), we couldn’t share this earlier. Thrilled to finally present our findings: Severe fire regimes DECREASE resilience in ectothermic populations. Resistance ≠ recovery. #FireEcology #Conservation

Severe fire regimes decrease resilience of ectothermic populations
With a long-term, individual-level data, researchers provide evidence for how disturbance regimes shape the life-history strategies and resilience of three lizard species. As predicted by theory, pop...

🌎 **NEW STUDY: Bridging gaps in fire management for Brazil’s Cerrado savanna**
Our latest paper in *Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation* reveals how rural communities and experts align—and differ—on fire use in a critical biodiversity hotspot.
