A new publication lead by Duccio Rocchini has been published in Ecological Indicators titled “Remotely sensed spatial heterogeneity as an exploratory tool for taxonomic and functional diversity study“. This publication stressed the challenges to assess biodiversity from in-situ data and encourages to explore novel approaches to compute diversity measures. Remote Sensing can achieve that while covering large areas over a short period of time and thus allows to map diversity hotspots from space-borne systems. read more here:
Strengthening Scientific Networks in Côte d’Ivoire
Last week, two of our EORC members (Dr. Insa Otte and Dr. Michael Thiel) had the opportunity to visit several research institutions in Côte d’Ivoire—both in Abidjan and at the Lamto Ecological Research Station. During this visit, they gained valuable insights into the...
