[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - Rhett A. Butler]

Long before “biodiversity hotspot” became a conservation cliché, Alwyn Howard Gentry was painstakingly mapping them — one vine, one tree, one tenth-hectare transect at a time.
Alwyn Gentry died young, but left a forest’s worth of ideas behind

Really excited to share this new article from the lab.

We synthesize the profound importance of movement and connectivity for conservation and provide a vision for future policy and management.

Let's work toward a well-connected planet for biodiversity and people:

Although many invertebrates and other less-charismatic groups are key for ecosystem service provision, they and their functions are rarely included in conservation strategies. Benoit Guénard, @achughes.bsky.social et al show how funding largely goes to charismatic rather than threatened species 🌐🧪🪲
