Very pleased that data from the Satakunta forest diversity experiments have contributed to this new
@Nature paper led by Laurent Augusto & Marie Charru
which shows that tree species with conservative traits often outperform acquisitive species nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Effects of forest diversification on floral reward for pollinators - a new PhD opportunity with @KorichevaLab & me @RHULScience & @kewscience on nutritional & chemical diversity of pollen and nectar of forest understory - deadline 20/1/25 trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/eff…
Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: ow.ly/5vat50UwZAo
