A very interesting thread for those interested in the fate of the Amazonian forest. Thanks to @brunalab.bsky.social

New from me for @grist.org: Brazil's election could determine the fate of the Amazon. Lula faces Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, who led the round one vote by 2.2 million votes. Climate and forest scientists argue the Oct 25 second round could decide whether the rainforest breaches a tipping point. (1/n)

L’année commence pendant la saison sèche en Guyane. Celle de 2026 sera particulièrement éprouvante pour les populations humaines, les plantes et les animaux. J’espère que cette exposition permettra de rendre plus visible un territoire, de l’Amazone à l’Orénoque, longtemps dénigré pour son climat.

On June 1st 2026, Eugene ‘Geno’ Wallace Schupp (1952-2026) is gone. Last October 2025, my family and I visited him and his partner Janis. During the last 35 years, we had developed a familial relationships. We’ll be in Logan on 6th September to honor his memory with his family at large.

@fsd2028.bsky.social « Everything is connected » said Eugene W Schupp (1952-2026). www.usu.edu/today/story/... Next FSD in Cadix, we will especially miss Geno, who passed away on June 1st. www.usu.edu/today/story/... Geno was connected to every people. www.cvmortuary.com/obituaries/e...

youtu.be/VQir4gKCWIA?... So, we were on a podcast. Find out about our Archaeopteryx research here. One of the most exciting projects I have worked on #LifeonEarth #BirdFlight @sotonbiosciences.bsky.social @uoscommsallison.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @engineering-soton.bsky.social

“12 mois en forêt guyanaise” est bien encadré à la librairie du @quaibranly.bsky.social. Ne pas rater la superbe expo sur les “Plumes du Paradis”; j’aurais bien aimé un peu d’information sur les leks et l’écologie de ces superbes volatiles frugivores-insectivores (la biblio existe sur le sujet).

This MS is the result of a long-term collaboration with colleagues studying frugivores-plant interactions, and analysing the interaction networks in three lowland rainforests, we are sharing the preprint that is currently under review in an international journal. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🗺️🌎🏹 We also map species richness and % of hunted mammal & bird species at 1km resolution, alongside the mean defaunation index of mammalian and avian communities pantropically, revealing where both taxa overlap in high defaunation, and where patterns diverge.

Today, at 6 pm, I walked a couple of hundred meters in Paris. I had the same feeling that I experienced in Nigeria, at Abuja airport, in April 2011, with a temperature of 40 °C. Now, French folks know what it means for African people to live in such harsh climatic conditions due to deforestation.

🚨Western Europe is sweltering under a record-breaking heat wave fueled by a powerful “heat dome” trapping hot, dry air across the region.
