A huge thank you to the tireless, dedicated field crews of @SAFE_Project, @SEARRP and Lambir, and other staff who contributed to the logistics! I estimate the paper incorporates ~35 person years of fieldwork.

Fragmentation has a negative effect on the drought recovery of a regenerating tropical forest landscape @SAFE_Project. Our new paper led by @MatheusHNunes1, check his thread for the summary.

How did fragmented logged forests in Borneo respond to droughts and high temperatures during the 2015-16 El Niño? We used repeat LiDAR to investigate the combined effects of fragmentation and climate on forest recovery - thread nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Fantastic thread by @JoeWilliamson93 on our work on the importance of #riparianbuffers in Sabah for maintaining #microclimate & #biodiveristy and of course #dungbeetles #TropiCon20 @SEARRP @SAFE_Project
Joseph Williamson@JoeWilliamsonDB6 Nov 2020
1/5 #TropiCon20 Hi all! Riparian buffers are strips of forest retained around rivers in agricultural landscapes to protect water quality. With a large-scale microclimatic datalogger campaign in Borneo, we demonstrate how they act as cool, humid refugia in oil palm @mattstruebig

2/5 #TropiCon20 We collected leeches from forest habitats of variable quality: 1) pristine/old growth 2) twice-logged and 3) heavily-logged forest. Using metabarcoding techniques we sequence and identify mammal DNA 🐱🐻🦌🐗 @SAFE_project

When looking like a stick fails as a defensive mechanism, try scaring the shit out of your would-be predator with some fabulous wing colouration. Once on the floor she would display constantly if provoked. Higher up she would flash the wings and drop to the floor! @SAFE_Project
