But first: There are lots of important things to focus on right now besides a new paper.

We hope this serves as another interesting example of the power, value, and need for diversity in ecology. We are excited to share it!

Since the 1950s, a swiss forester by the name Jean Pierre Veillon (right in the pic - 1914-2002) started a tremendous effort to monitor the dynamics and structure of different forest-types across Venezuela, supported by Universidad de Los Andes. Photo courtesy of Giorgio Tonella.
Later in the 1970s, scientists from the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones CientÃficas (IVIC) along with other international partners began an iconic project to understand the ecology of Amazon forests in San Carlos de RÃo Negro. Photo: Carl Jordan daac.ornl.gov/NPP/guides/NPP…
