A global standard for forest carbon storage requires ground-based measurements
October 04, 2024
To create a global standard for forest carbon storage, we need boots on the ground. The GEO-TREES system of forest plots offers this immediately: establishing a single method for forest carbon estimation at existing on-the-ground forest study sites around the world.

David Roubik
I’ve gotten used to performing long-term studies, and shorter-term field experiments, but most of all try to mix and match what is both interesting and useful. Many studies have come to fruition, and those I continue to expand consider 1) ecology and taxonomy of stingless bees and orchid bees, 2...

Bats use leaves as mirrors to find their prey in the dark
August 09, 2019
Bats can find motionless insects on leaves in the dark. This was thought to be impossible, because the acoustic camouflage provided by the leaves should confuse their echolocation system. Inga Geipel and colleagues discovered how they overcome this problem.
