Researchers from @BiologyAtYork have discovered high diversity of Darwin wasps in a rainforest, adding to a growing body of evidence that debunks the widely held belief that the Darwin wasp does not thrive in tropical environments: bit.ly/3SFl9BF
ALT A Darwin Wasp. To the left, text reads: Wasps create a buzz. Darwin wasps - thought to prefer cooler climates - are thriving in the Brazilian rainforest, changing our understanding of this fascinating insect".

Julkistimme tänään laajan tutkimuksen, joka avaa Brasilian uhanalaisten rannikkosademetsien #biodiversiteetti’ä. Löytämistämme lajeista 75% oli uusia! 🐝 Alueen ekosysteemeistä on tuhottu ihmisen toimesta yli 80%. Tämä oli minulle tärkeä tutkimus 💚🌎. #luontokato #sademetsät
Tutkijat löysivät uhanalaisista Brasilian rannikkosademetsistä yhden maailman monimuotoisimmista pistiäislajistoista. Suurin osa löydetyistä lajeista oli tieteelle tuntemattomia. Tieto voi auttaa jäljellä olevien sademetsien suojelussa.

First paper out on the pimplines of Serra dos Órgãos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: it has been a long road to this point: ten years of work. Enormously proud of all my international and home collaborators and friends. mdpi.com/2075-4450/14/11/861
