The Future of Forest Microclimate in Southeast Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Forest microclimates regulate biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and species' thermal tolerance, yet tropical forest disturbances (logging, fire and fragmentation) increasingly disrupt these conditions. Southeast Asia, home to 15% of the world's tropical forests, faces rapid deforestation and degradation, but large‐scale changes in maximum ...

Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a Tropical Rainforest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.
