New publication out @JAppliedEcology with @martina_zoo looking at how management decisions impact butterfly assemblages in oil palm smallholdings. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14… @InsectGroup @CamZoology @downingcollege

How do management decisions impact butterfly assemblages in smallholding oil palm plantations in...

Our findings suggest that replanting oil palm and choice of mono or polyculture have relatively few effects on butterflies, but management for specific features in plantations could benefit butterf...

New publication from @BEFTAprogramme @InsectGroup on understory vegetation management in oil palm plantations and its impact on assassin bug populations. dx.doi.org/10.1002/2688-8319… @CamZoology @AER_ESE_BES

Maintaining understory vegetation in oil palm plantations supports higher assassin bug numbers

Reduced understory vegetation complexity in oil palm plantations leads to a significant drop off in numbers of assassin bugs, which are major pest control agents within the system. This suggests...

The #ESSTA project is working in partnership with local collaborators and smallholders in Peninsula Malaysia, to research how management decisions impact ecological communities, functions and crop yield. 👩🏻‍🌾🌴🦋

Five wood ant nests in Westerham. These are too close to be separate colonies; more likely an example of polydomy, multiple satellite nest heaps around the main centre.

The @InsectGroup are launching the Ecological and Social studies in Smallholder Tropical Agriculture (ESSTA) project. This project will be linked closely to the @BEFTAprogramme and will explore ecological, social and interdisciplinary dynamics within oil palm smallholdings.#ESSTA

Scientists discover world's tallest tropical tree! @BBCNews coverage with our Oxford team member @ashenkin - 3D scans and drone flights confirm the record! #biodiversity #ecosystems #tallesttree @ecioxford @ymalhi bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-no…

UK scientists discover world's tallest tropical tree

Researchers from the University of Nottingham first spotted the tree in a Malaysian rainforest last August.
