PhD candidate @UofT - primatologist and conservation scientist. Studying the mechanisms of divergent population-decline in sympatric #lemurs. 🇨🇦/🇨🇴, he/him

[Fernando Mercado Malabet @91Fernandom3]

Finally out! We examined whether mouse #lemur species exhibit varying density responses to #edge #effects across fragmented landscapes. Our results demonstrate that differences in density patterns can be attributed to species-specific traits and the scale of analysis.

[Julie Teichroeb @Teichroeb_Lab]

Do #edge #effects vary in closely related mouse #lemur species? This is the question @91Fernandom3 and the Lehman Lab from @utoronto asked in the 10th paper from @AMelinLab and my special issue of @AmJournalPrimat on #primatology in #Canada. https://t.co/E2zpKISDrz

We weren’t expecting much from the #UpperSmoky draft and Gov of Alberta still disappointed us deeply.
This plan was supposed to be about #caribou recovery and it turned out to be a plan for extinction

What happens to tropical plants when large seed-dispersing animals disappear? 🌱🌳 New study, led by former research group member, Dr JT Lamperty , shows that even small-seeded plants can be affected by defaunation 🔗 Read more: https://t.co/8AXUJ41rg3

In this article, Tonos et al share that though #lemurs are under substantial #extinction threat, data gaps prevent assessment of the impact of #lemur loss on plant communities.🐒🌿 Learn more at https://t.co/ivmgQMx3fb

Is fragmentation bad or good for biodiversity? Yes!

We use a classical competition-colonization metacommunity model to show that fragmentation can increase or decrease diversity depending on the total amount of habitat in the landscape. @idiv @UniHalle
