DNA from rainwater provides a window into tropical canopy biodiversity – New Study/Science Updates



Tropical rainforests still represent a treasure trove of undiscovered species. While many species of plants, animals, and insects have been identified over the years, some parts of these tropical ecosystems are difficult to access and pose challenges for researchers. In particular, the high canopies of tropical forests can be hard—and often expensive—to study without causing local damage.



Summary

Tropical rainforests remain largely unexplored biodiversity hotspots. Though numerous species are known, remote regions and the dense canopy pose significant research challenges. Accessing the high canopy, crucial for understanding many species, is particularly difficult and costly, often risking environmental damage. The potential for discovering new species and understanding complex ecological relationships remains vast, but requires innovative and sustainable research methods.
