From 15-18 December 2025, TEE Lab Research Assistant Nagichetty Ashok Poorvi attended the British Ecological Society 2025 Annual Meeting , held in Edinburgh, to share about some of the lab's ongoing work on fungal communities and functional traits across leaf litter and soil. Let's hear from Poorvi about her experience! :) In December last year, I had the privilege of sharing my work on the fungal communities of Singapore’s tropical forests. I presented a poster titled: Shif

The Tropical Ecology and Entomology (TEE) Lab at the Asian School of the Environment, College of Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, was recently featured on Channel News Asia (CNA) for its work on the AMBER Project — AI and Automated Monitoring of Insects (AMI) — showcasing how artificial intelligence is being integrated into biodiversity monitoring in Singapore. Developed through a collaboration between the Alan Turing Institute , the UK Centre

We thank Dr Arthur Chung and Datuk Frederick Kugan for the opportunity to contribute this article in collaboration with the Sabah Forestry Department. Check out the article and our publication in these links: Study puts Sabah’s dung beetles on the global con­ser­va­tion map To

We hosted Dr Thary Gazi Goh in February 2026 to investigate and describe a potential new species of dung beetle from Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia. It was a great opportunity for knowledge exchange and international collaboration in the region -- read more to find out what we actually did! :)

The Tropical Ecology and Entomology (TEE) Lab at the Asian School of the Environment, College of Science, Nanyang Technological University recently conducted fieldwork in the peat swamp forests of Brunei Darussalam—an ecosystem that is both ecologically unique and critically important for carbon storage and biodiversity conservation.
