reeling from this @AppleBooks review of STARSTRUCK —
“Elegantly written… emotionally powerful… makes for a truly inspiring read”

So grateful for the opportunity to speak to general audiences on the importance of birds, biodiversity, and conservation. Ironically, I really enjoyed preparing and delivering this talk on the 6th mass extinction, despite its macabre nature!

In recognition of her contributions to conservation in Madagascar a team of scientists have named a frog species after Dr Kremen! (@clairekremen)
The highly variable & adorable Gephyromantis kremenae can be found in the Masoala National Park on Madagascar's northeast coast!

Hoy, en nuestra primera entrega de #LosComebroca, presentamos al #ArañeroCabecirrufo. Estudios en Centroamérica confirman que esta #ave consume broca y larvas de otros insectos potencialmente dañinos para el café, sobre todo en cafetales con sombríos diversos.

Beautiful birds a plenty! Woodcreepers were the most frequent captures at our study sites, manakins were fairly common, and we only captured one species of antbird. Why do these birds persist in fragmented landscapes while many of their close relatives are lost?
ALT Dendrocincla fuliginosa
ALT Glyphorynchus spirurus
ALT Manacus manacus
ALT Myrmophylax atrothorax
Pilot field season was a success.. We crossed many a river, encountered wasp nests in excess, battled tropical arm bacteria, and had near-death encounters with spiky caterpillars, but also managed to resurvey 54 point count locations and do some preliminary mist netting!
ALT What the locals call a chucharo -- still not sure what exactly this was?
