Tropical Forest Ecology Project
Scientists in the rainforest
We focus on scientists in the rainforest working in the tropics in areas of exceptionally high biodiversity.
Scientific research up in the forest canopy involves extra challenges as one of the most complex zones to access. With the nature of these challenges meaning there is so much still to discover, this is why canopy science legend Nalini Nadkarni describes it as "the last biotic frontier." Using innovative research, scientists reveal new discoveries within the canopy which we will explore over this series.
Welcome to our space all about discoveries in the canopy
Canopy science
Hot off the press!
We report the open source publication of Multi-Species Canopy Latrines in Costa Rican Cloud Forests: A Mammal Interactions Hub in a Single Tree Species in the journal Ecology & Evolution.
Hidden cameras found by monkeys!
During camera trapping as part of ongoing research into mammal ecology in the canopy, it seems our camera has been spotted by this White-faced capuchin!
