Exciting times for The African Phenology Network as we continue to grow and develop. Lots to announce in the coming weeks but let's make a start by introducing the brand new Steering Group: africanphenologynetwork.onli…
#PhenologyMonitoring
As the limits of drought tolerance of tropical rainforests are not known, rate and extent of future changes cannot be predicted (Borchert, 1998).

First up, Dr. Elise Larsen (@EcologyElise) who works largely on how species traits mediate phenology and abundance patterns. #FaceOfScience

How will #climatechange affect #tropical #forests? This #PhD @Rothamsted focuses on #Tanzania – which is where I did mine, and I loved it! findaphd.com/phds/project/th… #ecology #tropicalforest @LMarkesteijn @Geertje_vanderH @l_banin @AntjeAhrends @SimonLLewis @AfricanPhenoNet (4/4)
No better way to capture the importance of #phenology!
“…mismatches in seasonal events…between flowering plants and their pollinators, can decouple biological communities… and even collapse of ecosystem services…” (c.f. Bull et al., 2021).

I have been monitoring this Ficus exaperata tree on my way to work everyday. Eidolon helvum fruit bats visit when it fruits. Today, I noticed all its leaves gone. This is #Phenology.
Register for @AfricanPhenoNet workshop: tinyurl.com/APNWorkshop3 to learn more about #phenology.
There are still free tickets available for our next online workshop!

Evidence for Africa-wide Phenology Monitoring will dive into using cameras for #phenology monitoring, resources for standardising monitoring, and how to coordinate multi-site monitoring

A reminder about our ongoing online survey - it takes less than 10 minutes to complete, and every additional response counts! Help us understand how phenology sites across Africa can begin working together to coordinate their monitoring efforts.

Are compromises always possible where conditions create #HumanWildlifeConflict? And if a species in conflict is endangered, can we afford a compromise that threatens them?

Missed this? Our scientists, Dr.@BambaClimate & Dr. @amabro23 contributed as lead authors to the @IPCC_CH report on ClimateChange, showing how & why climate has changed to date.
What does this report mean for #Africa? Find the answers in the #podcast: spoti.fi/3yONEA1.
