Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 152-168, January 2026.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Great minds map alike: Citizen and expert distribution models of schistosome snail hosts in rural west Uganda

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Citizen scientists and an expert jointly monitor Biomphalaria snails (the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni) in rural areas of southwest Uganda, generating over 4500 georeferenced records. By comparing expert‐ and citizen‐based distribution models under perfect and imperfect detection, we demonstrate that site type and NDVI consistently ...

It is cool to be clear: Transparency induces a thermal cost in clearwing butterflies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2452-2464, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In butterflies, wing transparency raises the question of potential costs for vital functions, such as thermoregulation. The thermal melanism hypothesis posits that darker colorations enable higher absorption of solar radiation, leading to the prediction that such ...

High extinction risk of the endemic tree flora in a hyper‐diverse region of the Amazon

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 998-1010, July 2025.
The rapid global loss of biodiversity, especially in the Neotropics, underscores the need to understand how deforestation impacts endemic plant species' extinction risk and conservation status. Due to limited ranges and habitat specialization, endemics are particularly Vulnerable.
