1/6 Our latest paper is out in @PLOSONE!
We investigate how to improve trapping of jewel beetles, crucial for early detection of non-native species.

![graphic - cross section - Point cloud of trees growing in fragmented forests in Central Amazonia, obtained using high-resolution terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) - The quantification of architectural attributes of tropical trees is challenging and has been largely overlooked. TLS offers new perspectives into the three-dimensional (3D) structure of trees, including descriptions of fine-scale architectural traits such as tree asymmetry and vertical distribution of branches. Here, [they] investigate how the architecture of surviving and young colonising trees change with proximity to forest edges.

In our ongoing experiment, we are exposing Douglas firs 
to varying densities of the #invasive gall midge Contarinia pseudotsugae 
within insect-proof tunnels and measuring the impact on tree growth. Measurements in progress, results coming soon!
