Productive, vibrant & challenging #fieldwork continues in #Brunei/#Borneo's #tropical #peat swamps. Aiming to understand better the underlying #ecology of these magnificent & unique C-dense, but yet understudied ecosystems @nanetteraczka @NTU_ASE

Bye-bye, Kuala Belalong Field Centre! We had a great #Borneo expedition. Thank you, @UBD_IBER for facilitating it. And watch this space for more impressions from 10 days of mist netting, Winkler bagging, malaise trapping, and tree climbing.

For fern conservation, every #tropical forest #fragment count!
A new important paper. #forest fragment size does not shape the fern abundance, richness and composition. Whereas, what play a role are #soil, #topography, and forest structure.https://t.co/3rkVrcgKYp

Some impressions of our #fieldwork in #LadanHills and #BukitPatoi in #Brunei. DNA's added to our BioBank: #Dipterocarpus seedlings, flowering #Fordia & #Aglaia and Bruneian endemic #Loxoxarpus_taeniophyllus. @UBD_IBER @BRIT_org @bgci @LinskyJean #GGI_grant #genomics #biodiversity

New Scientists Warning paper published in @plantspplplanet warns that billions of people could lose their income, jobs, and livelihoods, if more is not done to prevent tree species extinction.

Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) - Vulnerable on the @IUCNRedList. Caught on camera trap as part of my PhD @UBD_IBER @ubdbuzz @SciencesNCL @ModEviPol @CEGDurham @IapetusDTP #WomenInSTEM #phdchat #cameratrap

Minus our abundant crocodiles, thankfully! 🐊😁 We're looking forward to your visit!

[Taxon Expeditions @TaxonExped]

Our non-profit daughter organisation @TaxonFoundation today went on an insect inventory excursion to a small woodland that could only be reached by boat. Reminds us of #Borneo...
Speaking of which: there are still a few places available on our upcoming Borneo Expedition.

[Taxon Expeditions @TaxonExped]

Joining our expeditions means a lot of air miles. While we work for conservation, we also realise these flights are harmful for the environment. That's why we support the Regrow Borneo project, which replants illegally-cleared river-bank forest:
