The current research site 🌳 of #RESPECT is now presented in a field station profile in #Ecotropica. Find out more about this unique #dryforest reserve - indeed a hidden gem 💎 in southern #Ecuador 🇪🇨.

[@Tropical Ecology @soctropecol]

A new field station profile is published in our society journal #Ecotropica.
We present Estación Científica Laipuna in southern #Ecuador. The station is surrounded by a private #dryforest reserve managed by @ncilatam & is part of the UNESCO Bosques de Paz

Diana Ontaneda & @camilofago presented their research on predation on caterpillar dummies 🐛⬅️🦜🐁🦎🐜 in the dry forest of #Ecuador. They highlight the importance of arthropod predators. They also found that predators preferred brown and white caterpillars over green.@ConsEcol

[TMFRespect (FOR2730) @TMF_Ecuador]

Some post-insights from our project symposium @utpl at the end of March. It was a great opportunity to present research made in #South #Ecuador on biodiversity under global change. Many students took the opportunity to discuss their research results using a poster or talk.

I am very happy to share the first published manuscript of my #PhD in one of my favorite journals: @Biotropica! Stay tuned to read a thread about our research soon! 🥰#cienciacriolla #endozoochory #climate #microhabitat #Ecuador https://t.co/BNX2aJWpwb

First research results from the 2nd phase of RESPECT in the #biodiversity hotspot of southern #Ecuador: models, traits and biotic interactions in tropical mountain rain and dry forest. Find it all in the latest issue of our #newsletter.

Again with the great help from the workers of Canguraca and Narajito.
Currently she is collecting her first data, together with Diana Ontaneda and Klever Azanza (technichians from Loja), taking canopy pictures, measuring soil moisture and litter depth and checking for seedlings.

Laipuna Research station is busy again! During this time of the year, it becomes crystal clear why this forest is called a "dry forest".
In the past couple of weeks, our PhD candidate Lea Kerwer sowed a second set of 4 native tree species flowering during the dry season.
