🌷New Research highlight showcases Arrowsmith et al. (2025), which shows that temperature alone can shift pollinators’ floral choices in diverse plant–pollinator communities. Such thermally-driven species interaction rewiring may have important consequences. ➡️ buff.ly/i5QrFjd

We wrote about poop — and it went viral. 💩
Mongabay’s story on how tapir latrines support forest regeneration caught global attention — even from DiCaprio.
That’s the power of independent journalism.

Lower ungulate population density in rainforests under anthropogenic influences 🦌
Highlights how threats such as
👉Poaching 📉
👉Predation by domestic dogs 🐕
👉Disease transmission 🧪
👉Disturbance by wild boar 🐗
...may potentially lead to species extinction 🌏

2/ Deer density varied widely (0.14–18.17 individuals/km²), with P. nemorivagus having the highest numbers.
Key threats? Poaching, domestic dog predation, disease from livestock & wild boar competition. These pressures may drive local extinctions if left unchecked.

1/ Remote-sensing indices like the Global Human Influence Index (GHII) didn’t correlate with our AII, suggesting they may miss key local pressures such as poaching, plant exploitation & invasive species.

Thrilled to share our newly published paper and my first first-author paper. We used hunting sign data from long-term monitoring in the Ebo forest, Littoral-Cameroon, to explore the spatiotemporal patterns of hunting activities.

New paper out! On estimating mammal density using vertically oriented #cameratraps. Yes we can!
This works in forests that have vandalism, fire, or elephants. Or all three, like Bardia National Park, Nepal.
