A new
review by an international team of scientists, including Stony Brook University Professor Liliana M. Dávalos, reports an analysis of the incredibly diverse «lost world» of Caribbean fossils that includes giant rodents, vampire bats, enigmatic monkeys, ground sloths, shrews and dozens of other ancient mammals.
The research, conducted
by an
international team of scientists from a range
of institutions, is presented in a series
of seven academic papers that estimate change in land use and greenhouse gas emissions from oil palm expansion in the three countries,
review the social and environmental impacts
of palm oil production, forecast potential growth in the sector across the region, and detail methods for measuring emissions and carbon stocks
of plantations establishing on peatlands.
