New and very useful methodological paper on the analysis of rewiring in interaction webs from ecological communities, comparing the Poisot's and the Novotny's method; I recommend the Novotny's method. https://t.co/V1XNDzRDJs

We emphasize the duality between seed dispersal and seed predation networks in the tropics, as key plant species differ and host specificity tends to be low in the former and higher in the latter.

Seeds and insects across three tropical forest sites:

Exciting new job opportunity at Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor level at the Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sabah! I am affiliated to this institute, and can highly recommend working there. Selection is ongoing - apply now!

See our last paper on Changes in the structure of seed dispersal networks when including interaction outcomes from both plant and animal perspectives. We find that accounting for quality improves our inferences about interaction assembly and species role https://t.co/GL9CMYopzE

Chuffed to have played a small part in this paper, led by the indomitable @thebinglin. If you're wondering what a wet market actually is and why this matters for health AND biodiversity, then look no further... @TheLancetPlanet #COVID19 #biodiversity

Happy to share another paper resulting from my postdocs at @ArmyERDC @IllinoisNRES @UWyonews. This is part of the #HawaiiVINEProject and we investigated species roles in novel #seeddispersal #networks in #Oahu #Hawaii. https://t.co/4T8bF4DtEY
