Exploring the tropical cloud forests of #Guacamayos. 🔎 Foggy, rain-soaked and mild temperatures: #cloudforests are some of the most species- and endemism-rich biomes on Earth. Despite covering only 0.4% of global land, they host 3,700 #species of birds, mammals, amphibians and tree ferns. 🌧️🌳🌿

This was a great collaboration between my lab - me, Sophie Tintori, and Tuc Nguyen - and Harmony Yomai, a Micronesian plant ecologist. We also had help from fantastic local experts who led us to sites all over the island, including the spectacular cloudforests in the island’s interior.

Hawaiian night skies helped the first Polynesian settlers to the islands navigate to, from, and between them. The Polynesian star compass, utilized on long double-hulled canoe voyages, divides the 360-degree horizon into 4 houses, marking paths in pathless places.
