A team of #NSFfunded researchers is looking at fossils found underwater, in the cave floor, & buried in sediments where they have rested in obscurity for thousands of yrs. #NationalFossilDay

Thanks to Nishimura's early work in the 1970s, many others followed, myself included, and began to study the muriqui. What he started led to longest-running research and conservation projects on any Neotropical primate, headed by Dr. Karen Strier.

Farewell to our good friend Dr. Akisato Nishimura, who passed away just before Christmas. Nishimura was a pioneer of primate conservation, especially in South America, and was the first modern primatologist to call attention to the muriqui, the largest South American monkey.

Large #frugivores play role in maximizing forest carbon storage in Madagascar (#lemurs). Programs aimed at reducing emissions & maintaining C stocks in tropical forests would do better by incorporating seed-disperser conservation

Did early farmers and settlers deforest much of the western Congo basin around 2500 years ago? My commentary in PNAS on some intriguing new bits of evidence:
