Welcome to the Tropical Ecology Group (TEG) website!
Our aim is: to promote and facilitate communication and interaction between tropical ecology researchers.
Given the broad nature of “Tropical Ecology” I believe that the activities of the TEG must be driven by the interest of members. Therefore, if YOU have any ideas for events or activities please contact us and we will see what can be done to make things happen.
