Today in @NatureEcoEvo, my colleagues and I provide the first-ever survey of legume abundance in Neotropical secondary forests, and show that in recently-disturbed, water-limited forests, legumes dominate.

I support Christiana's call and will be counting on the Costa Rican Congress to endorse a law to permanently ban oil and gas exploration.
#CostaRica is about to make history, Congress is discussing a permanent ban on oil & gas exploration and exploitation. Join me to urge lawmakers to endorse this bill @fbirol @Janefonda @KateRaworth @JosephEStiglitz @Mo_IbrahimFdn @PaulPolman #CRLibredePerforación #firstmovers

Chiribiquete es desde el 2018 uno de los parques naturales de bosque húmedo tropical más grandes del mundo. Cuenta con 4.3 millones de hectáreas, o sea, casi el doble del tamaño de Cundinamarca. 1/11 @luceoviedo

I welcome his initiative & call for pooled rights to #COVID19 diagnostics, drugs & vaccines. @WHO is working closely with governments & agencies around the world to promote rapid R&D. These efforts are rooted in our commitment to equitable access for all. xitter.cf/healthpolicyw/status/1…
🇨🇷Costa Rica urges @WHO to lead global initiative for pooled rights to #COVID19 diagnostics, drugs & vaccines. Read now on HPW 👉 bit.ly/2y6ANyI

Costa Rica is asking @WHO and its chief @DrTedros to "pool rights to technologies that are useful for the detection, prevention, control and treatment of the #COVID19 pandemic"
In other words: make life-saving knowledge and technology accessible for everyone

Paper by Anika Staccone in #AGUpubs GBC: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…. The paper (first from Anika's thesis!) maps tree-based symbiotic #nitrogen fixation across the US and finds a lower flux than previous bottom-up estimates. With Wen Liao, Steve Perakis, Jana Compton, Chris Clark.

We counter long-held views of how diversity varies along environmental gradients in our new paper. We also generated a time-scaled molecular phylogeny comprising nearly all the angiosperm tree genera in lowland tropical South America!
