Klimawandel und Entwaldung treiben baumbewohnende Affen- und Lemurenarten auf den Boden, wo sie stärker gefährdet sind. Das hat eine Studie mit über 47 Affenarten unter Beteiligung des Fachbereichs Biologie @UHHBio @unihh ergeben ➡️ min.uni-hamburg.de/ueber-die…

Good news this morning! Our manuscript "Season and reproductive activity influence cortisol levels in the Malagasy primate Lepilemur edwardsi" led by @JaninaBethge is now published online @JExpZoo_Aonlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Yey, new publication out! A short review on torpor expression in bats across climate zones, thanks to @ras_rune and @ClareStawski!
Universality of Torpor Expression in Bats* | Physiological and Biochemical Zoology: Vol 95, No 4 journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…
Over 15,000 tree species are globally threatened. That's why we plant many endemic and endangered tree species like this Voapaky tree in Madagascar, together with the Tropical Biodiversity & Social Enterprise (TBSE), Oxford Brookes University, and University of Hamburg 🌱🌿
If you are in Antananarivo and interested in my work, I'm doing an in-person research talk @ESSAForets next Wednesday at 1pm. If you have Madagascar-based folks in your feed please do share.
I'm SO impressed by @Mahaliana_labs in Madagascar. Founder @Fidydvm was frustrated that projects always had to export specimens meaning Malagasy students/scientists were often only involved in sample collecting. So he established capacity here. We are collaborating.....
Do you know of evidence of pre-emptive forest clearing under env. policy introduction? E.g. deforestation increases before implementation of regulation restricting forest use, as forest stakeholders rush to secure resources before it’s not possible once the policy is in place🌴⁉️
🌍 Could you be our next Head of Captive Breeding in Madagascar? 🌍
We are looking for a highly motivated person to ensure the highest standards in captive chelonian and wildfowl husbandry at our captive facilities in Madagascar.
Apply by 3rd May 👇

L'Afrique a perdu 39 millions d'hectares de forêts entre 2010 et 2020, soit plus que la superficie totale de la Côte d'Ivoire & du Togo réunis.
~40% de la déforestation mondiale a lieu en #Afrique, dont plus de la moitié serait due à l'exploitation illégale des forêts.
@ipbesfr
Le monde a perdu 420millions d'hectares de forêts depuis 1990, & la déforestation se poursuit au rythme d'environ 10millions d'hectares/an.
En cette #JIF2022, @FAOenFrancais promeut la gestion durable des forêts afin de réduire la déforestation & dégradation🌳🌲

Happy to share new research on how different populations of a Malagasy bat species cope with acute changes in their roosting microclimate: we found mixed physiological responses and lots of torpor! With @HajatianaRabar1, @julia_nowack & Kathrin Dausmann
