Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Exploring and sharing the ‘collective memory’ stored at the bottom of the ocean
Phytoplankton play a central role in the marine ecosystem as prey and recyclers of nutrients. We investigated how these organisms have adapted to the historical increase in sea surface temperature since the 1960s and are uniting with artists to translate our findings to a wider audience.
Shock-proofing conservation: are community forests in Madagascar resilient to a political crisis and its aftermath?
We explored the impacts of the 2009-2014 Madagascar political crisis and its aftermath on the performance of community managed forests and protected areas. In under-resourced nations like Madagascar, community forests need external support to avoid forest clearing and associated biodiversity loss.
Bats unmasked: Delving into diversity and disease dynamics
Our understanding of disease dynamics can be limited by the taxonomic lens with which we study pathogen reservoirs. Here is what we learned by decrypting species identity in cave-roosting bats from Ghana.
