As #COP30 launches in the Brazilian #Amazon, a reminder that tropical forests are much more than just carbon. Human disturbances - from fire, logging or clear-felling - also profoundly affect #biodiversity and ecological function: https://t.co/JsjkSkNQzg

🚨🐈‍⬛❤️🐈🚨 I am thrilled to share our latest study in @WileyEcolEvol, where we show the first scientifically documented video of a melanistic jaguar mating in the wild! Here is what we found 👇🧵 https://t.co/tZ8dvjwBbn #Jaguars #bigcat #naturalhistory #ecology #rainforest

One of our 15 #Amazon Biodiversity & Carbon Expeditions hit the proverbial jackpot & video-trapped a spectacular copulation event between a male spotted & a female black #jaguar. See FULL VIDEO at: https://t.co/5yeofn4Vu6 Led by @LuypaertThomas @UEAResearch @institutojurua #NMBU

Fast-growing and small-seeded tree species are dominating Brazilian forests with high levels of deforestation and degradation. See paper led by @Bxpinho in @NatureEcoEvo: 'Winner–loser plant trait replacements in human-modified tropical forests' https://t.co/jb6oLqpJkq

Do mammals in tropical rainforests change their activity in response to full moon🌳🌑🌓🌕🌳? The answer is yes and you can find more about it in our NEW PAPER published @RSocPublishing, led by R. Bischof and w/ contribution from many other great researchers!

Thank you to all the contributors of our edited volume How Primates Eat, to my coeditors @primateeats @Joanna_Lambert1, and @UChicagoPress! We think this will be a great resource for students/researchers/ practitioners interested in primate nutritional ecology

If you're unaware of the happy story of how Pirarucu (Arapaima) fisheries is the star of Nature Positive sustainable development in the Amazon, this short film now showing at a California film festival, is your chance. Congrats to filmmaker Carol Fernandes and all local managers!

Congratulations to @iago_ferreiro_ for winning Best Poster Paper at #FSD2024! "Effects of hunting-induced defaunation on the structure of neotropical plant-frugivore interaction networks" #TROPECOLNET #DEFNETCARBON

[Ana Benítez (find me @anabenlop.bsky.social) @anabenlop]

I am sadly not at the #FSD2024 in Ilheus, but I proudly share a pic of @iago_ferreiro_ w/ his poster on the structure of plant-frugiv interaction networks along a defaunation gradient in the Amazon. W/ @institutojurua & scientists from 🇧🇷🇪🇸🇳🇴🇬🇧🇮🇹 #TROPECOLNET #DEFNETCARBON

@ambleside_nhs Thank-you to the @ambleside_nhs for the invitation to talk to you yesterday about some of my work with @institutojurua on "Protected areas and community-based conservation in the Brazilian Amazon". I hope you found it interesting and I look forward to future meetings.
