Abstract Here we present a multi-marker DNA barcoding library for Hong Kong marine fishes (Teleostei), cephalopods (Mollusca), and crustaceans (Arthropoda) frequently captured by purse seine fisheries. In total, 605 spec...

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of recreational citizen science in biodiversity monitoring. The goal was to evaluate whether a minimal training protocol can maintain data quality while engaging l...

IntroductionThe complex interplay between environmental dynamics, biodiversity loss, and public health necessitates advanced methodologies for quantifying and interpreting their interactions. Respiratory health, highly s...

Linking Bees, Biodiversity, and Breadwinners highlights the complex and essential relationship between Bees and the survival of rural livelihoods. Although the role of bees in advancing sustainable development objectives...

Tropical dry forests and savannas provide important ecosystem services and harbor high biodiversity, yet are globally under pressure from land-use change. Mapping changes in the condition of dry forests and savannas is t...

Xenarthrans -anteaters, sloths, and armadillos- have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragm...

The Pholcus nagasakiensis species group is a relatively small group, comprising only five species. Of these, four species inhabit Kyushu Island in mainland Japan, the Ryukyu Archipelago and the Diaoyu Islands of China, w...

Abstract Terrestrial remote sensing approaches, such as acoustic monitoring, deliver finely resolved and reliable biodiversity data. However, the scalability of surveys is often limited by the effort, time and cost neede...

Varied approaches (palaeobiodiversity, palaeobiogeography, bioerosion, geochemistry) to unique Patagonian late Quaternary molluscan assemblages in the southwestern Atlantic, with ages especially from interglacial Marine ...

Against the global backdrop of accelerating climate change and the urgent need for energy transition, understanding the role of protected areas in shaping renewable energy consumption has become increasingly important. U...

Tropical forests hold the most species yet face the greatest threats and knowledge gaps. To improve tropical biodiversity knowledge we combined satellite-based LiDAR with in situ bird, mammal, and acoustic soundscape dat...

Abstract Assessing plant diversity using remote sensing, including airborne imaging spectroscopy, shows promise for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring in landscape restoration and conservation. Enriching plantations w...

Background The semideciduous Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world with a great diversity of spiders. Most spider-related studies in this ecosystem focused on species richness and composition...

Biodiversity loss has become a major environmental concern in regions experiencing rapid trade integration, yet the roles of trade agreements and property rights in shaping biodiversity outcomes remains insufficiently un...

The recent expansion of biodiversity recording through citizen science projects represents a valuable tool for enriching our knowledge of biota. Given the rapid ecosystem changes driven by human activities, plant communi...

Aligned with the Malaysia's strategic commitment to biodiversity conservation, public engagement – particularly among the youth demographic – is an essential component of environmental preservation frameworks. This s...

The ongoing biodiversity disappearance on islands worldwide is alarming. Without an accurate biodiversity assessment, it is impossible to stop the loss of the world’s islands irreplaceable natural heritage. To assess b...

This article assesses the current state of botanical collections in Argentine herbaria, with a particular focus on data and image digitization, collection management, and the publication of information through publicly a...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a key soil functional group, with an important potential to increase crop productivity and sustainable agriculture including food security. However, there is clear evidence that lan...

Abstract Expediting the construction of the new energy systems is crucial to achieving an energy transition, decreasing carbon dioxide emissions, and alleviating global warming. Utilizing Chinese province panel data from...

In recent decades, drug crop eradication and drug trafficking interdiction have pushed drug crop cultivation into new areas of the Amazonian rain forest. The presence of the drug industries in these regions—followed by...

Industrial and agricultural activities as well as the combustion of fossil fuels lead to increased levels of sulphur (S) deposition in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, affecting soil acidity and plant communities. Loc...

The present study was carried out to document the moth fauna of Lumami campus between February 2024 to April 2024 using the light trapping method with a 100 W LED bulb. A total of 106 species belonging to 83 genera under...

In 2000, Cleide Costa published a paper presenting the state of knowledge of the Neotropical Coleopte ra, with a focus on the Brazilian fauna. Twenty-four years later, thanks to the development of the Coleoptera section ...
