Led by A/Prof Edward L Webb @NUSingapore, pursuing research on conservation of tropical diversity in natural & human‐managed systems of the #AsiaPacific region.

Modelling distributions shaped by anthropogenic factors? Beware occurrence-habitat mismatching and niche truncation! We showed why and what we can do about it in our latest #OpenAccess paper in @consbiog (1/10) https://t.co/eQ01KEuiQD

I am happy to announce that I have been awarded a grant by The Rufford Foundation to understand agriculture-forest dynamics in the #Nepal #Himalaya.

Understanding the motivations of the snaring
poaching pigs? tiger conflict retaliation? tiger poaching? critical to addressing this crisis

New paper🥳led by @APELabNUS

🌳land-use legacies are long-term drivers of forest composition & succession #AmericanSamoa #Polynesia

This was my 1st research stint. I learnt so much. Not just about forest ecology but also key foundational research skills https://t.co/DCIGA2vP90

New publication on drivers and mechanisms of forest change in the Himalayas. https://t.co/ljTfQYhA4q

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

Excited that our paper is finally out! Find out how telecoupled #EnvironmentalImpacts are embedded within the #SDGs, and what we can do to improve #equitability here: https://t.co/rGw6R5FQqx Many thanks to @lromancarrasco @RKRunting & @cyclonewatson for all the help and support!

[Akash Verma @verma_CNCS]

Want to know more about #forest loss and recovery?

Have a look at our recent paper 'Drivers and mechanisms of forest change in the #Himalayas' https://t.co/lmG3c4ai2n… by @dondealban Dietrich Schmidt-Vogt @ELWEcology and myself via Global Environmental Change @APELabNUS

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

Yay! Finally got to play around with #machinelearning and SDMs again! We found that two of Singapore’s most charismatic and nationally #threatened #butterflies Common Birdwing and Common Rose are now critically dependent on a #nonnative host plant.

Always a good catch-up with @APELabNUS & @dbsbox29 #alumni over the several timezones (AEST, CET, SGT to CST) 🤗🇸🇬

Tropical cloud forests and their biodiversity are under-protected and still declining

Our work provides new evidence that cold tolerance is an adaptive trait and a potential driver for speciation in certain mangrove lineages. With @AidanWShort1, supported by @ArnoldArboretum.

Mangroves on the cover of Journal of Biogeography, featuring our study on the genetic connectivity of four mangrove species from the Malay Peninsula. Ten years in the making, so happy to see it published! @JBiogeography https://t.co/jiq2Wjw02y

[Sean Pang @SEH_Pang]

Congratulations Master @JohannessJ! Our newest graduate from @APELabNUS! Cheers to many more fun times.. Well.. More fun once you get that paper out 😉

[Don De Alban @dondealban]

Our new #openaccess paper is out! Conservation beyond the existing protected area network is required to improve species and habitat representation in a global biodiversity hotspot https://t.co/iUGQiZIzKz #MARXAN #SpatialPlanning @Marxan_Planning @APELabNUS

Here’s an awesome story by @JhessetEnanoINQ about our study on the effects of climate change on Philippine dipterocarps https://t.co/AlZnT9CCMa via @inquirerdotnet

We still have open project opportunities for upcoming final year undergraduate students @NUSingapore under the Environmental Studies and Life Sciences programmes.

Here’s the description of projects https://t.co/UcD7wIBLDS.
