    • Everyday adaptation practices by coffee farmers in three mountain regions in Africa 

      Cuni-Sanchez, Aida; Twinomuhangi, Isaac; Aneseyee, Abreham Berta; Mwangi, Ben; Olaka, Lydia; Bitariho, Robert; Soromessa, Teshome; Castro, Brianna; Zafra-Calvo, Noelia (Ecology and Society, 2022)
      Mountain environments in East Africa experience more rapid increases in temperature than lower elevations, which, together with changing rainfall patterns, often negatively affect coffee production. However, little is known ...

    • Higher Maximum Temperature Increases the Frequency of Water Drinking in Mountain Gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) 

      Wright, Edward; Eckardt, Winnie; Refisch, Johannes; Bitariho, Robert; Grueter, Cyril C.; Ganas-Swaray, Jessica; Stoinski, Tara S.; Robbins, Martha M. (Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022)
      Water plays a vital role in many aspects of sustaining life, including thermoregulation. Given that increasing temperatures and more extreme weather events due to climate change are predicted to influence water availability, ...

    • Pan‐tropical prediction of forest structure from the largest trees 

      Bastin, Jean‐François; Rutishauser, Ervan; Kellner, James R.; Saatchi, Sassan; Pélissier, Raphael; Hérault, Bruno; Slik, Ferry; Bogaert, Jan; Cannière, Charles De; Marshall, Andrew R.; Poulsen, John; Loyayza, Patricia Alvarez; Andrade, Ana; Basia, Albert Angbonga; Bitariho, Robert (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
      Aim: Large tropical trees form the interface between ground and airborne observations, offering a unique opportunity to capture forest properties remotely and to investigate their variations on broad scales. However, despite ...

    • Tropical field stations yield high conservation return on investment 

      Eppley, Timothy M.; Reuter, Kim E.; Sefczek, Timothy M.; Tinsman, Jen; Santini, Luca; Hoeks, Selwyn; Bitariho, Robert; Andriantsaralaza, Seheno; Shanee, Sam; DiFiore, Anthony (Conservation Letters, 2024)
      Conservation funding is currently limited; cost-effective conservation solutions are essential. We suggest that the thousands of field stations worldwide can play key roles at the frontline of biodiversity conservation and ...
