DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.05.014
Abstract: Abstract Tropical deforestation and effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services are relatively well studied, but the extent and impact of forest degradation remains much more cryptic. Most of the remaining Ethiopian moist Afromontane forests are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep45749
Abstract: The Eastern African Afromontane forest is getting increased attention in conservation studies because of its high endemicity levels and shrinking geographic distribution. Phylogeographic studies have found evidence of high levels of genetic variation structured across… read more here.
