Sara MendesNew paper out in New Phytologist 🌱 After centuries of research in Europe, we have studied only ~37% of all seed-dispersal interactions. Birds of prey, ants, and rodents are among the most understudied - yet researchers rarely flag them as gaps! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Great day in the field yesterday with @isatxu.bsky.social and our master's student Iñaki! We established the first part of a chronosequence to look at the dynamics of forest restoration in the Urdaibai biosphere reserve. Some decent native forest nearby will serve as a reference.
