Large terrestrial herbivores influence tropical forest regeneration, affecting seedling communities 🌲
Conservation & trophic rewilding could play a key role in diversity & forest regeneration. Yet, trophic rewilding requires careful planning 📑

Hey @how2saveaplanet what do you think? Will @YoYo_Ma @pattiegonia @BucketHatQuinn “won’t give up” be the climate anthem we’ve been looking for? youtu.be/2dKk1bIn8aU?si=5rnq…

So excited to share our work from Panama! A project monitoring epiphytes in Santa Fé National Park with Josué Ortega.
Súper emocionada compartir nuestro trabajo de las epífitas de Santa Fé--empezado en 2017 y publicado esta semana! #epifitas #bosquetropical #PNSF

Las plantas que son adaptadas para vivir en el dosel experimentan una compensación con mortalidad más alto cuando estén en contacto con el suelo terrestre. Estudios siguientes deben explorar el papel de los microbios de la tierra y las limitaciones... besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…
What a loss. 💔I feel fortunate to have gotten to know Gabe many years ago on BCI and nerded out about our mutual love of tropical plants over the years. 🌱
Dear Gabe,
You grew a forest. We, the forest, your friends, colleagues, and peers, will always miss you. But we are certain that you will continue to light up this forest forever.
With love,
Your friends from UC Berkeley

Recently came to my attention that some trees can extend above 4.5 feet. Confirmatory evidence pictured here. @MyShellSpicer

Hey #ESA2022 I had to cancel in-person attendance this year, but my talk on epiphyte biotic interactions is recorded on my website! Check it out: spicerme.weebly.com/research…
