VIDEO. For the first time, an international team involving CIRAD has just published a comprehensive inventory of the wealth of one such forest, that of San Lorenzo, in Panama. More than 6000 arthropod species were recorded on half a hectare, which by extrapolation to the forest as a whole means almost 25 000 species in all. Interview with Henri-Pierre Aberlenc, entomologist at CIRAD and co-author of the study published in the journal Science.
