🌿🌳 Rethinking Europe’s #Nature🍃🐘 Our new study challenges the closed-forest paradigm—pre-Homo sapiens landscapes were a fine-grained mosaic of open areas, closed #forest & light #woodland, likely linked to the rich #megafauna🐂🏵️https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950475925000061

New paper out led by Ilaria Greco in @plosbiology.org : Landscape-level human disturbance results in loss and contraction of mammalian populations in tropical forest. A huge effort with a global team! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Landscape-level human disturbance results in loss and contraction of mammalian populations in tropical forests
Tropical forests hold most of Earth’s biodiversity and a higher concentration of threatened mammals than other biomes. This study uses a standardized pan-tropical dataset of 239 mammal species from 37...

My last dissertation chapter is now available open access in Ecology: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

We find that tropical forest mammal occupancy and functional diversity is positively related to fine-scale habitat surface area, as measured using the Microsoft HoloLens.
