Just returned from Amsterdam, where I presented my poster at #ECTE2025! 🌿🏝️ It showcases part of my PhD research: 10 years of monitoring cavity-nesting #Hymenoptera in SE China and their multitrophic interactions. Great to share and discuss science! @multitroph.bsky.social

Humans in Africa’s wet tropical forests 150 thousand years ago.
The onset of human occupations at Bété I found to be ~150 ka, linking them with Homo sapiens. Plant wax biomarker, stable isotope, phytolith and pollen analyses all point to a wet forest environment.
