🐍 Over 35 years of #deforestation have reshaped #snake communities in the South American #Chaco 🌎.
Generalist species are expanding, while many specialists lose #habitat, leading to a sharp drop in diversity and growing biotic homogenization.

On our Lab Retreat we had quite a tight schedule...
Day one was all about workshops, presentations, discussions and talks!
On the second day we hiked through the beautiful, autumnally Harz - spearing some energy for the third day: walking through coniferous forests in the fog...
#labretreat #team

The team spent three amazing days in the beautiful, autumnal #Harz during this year’s #labretreat.
Workshops, hikes, talks, discussions, cooking sessions, board games, quizzes, laughter, progress and a whole lot of photos -> be ready for some behind-the-scenes-posts and photo dumps!
#teambuilding

Reminder to take a look at the new paper by Hugo Cabral and colleagues: Diversity Loss and Homogenization in Snake Communities in a Deforestation Hotspot -> out now in Diversity and Distributions.

We discussed not only the possibility of incorporation but also how to utilize this type of data to better understand the focus of #conservation we would like to explore in the region.
A follow-up workshop should be scheduled soon!!
