As many others parasites, speciation of flukes depends on the genetic characteristics and on ploidia. Ploidia of flukes can be different in a same species. In Asia, diploid, triploid and hybrid (2n/3n) populations are encountered. The comparison of morphological parameters between diploid and triploid flukes showed that they were morphologically ...

Urban socioeconomic inequality and biodiversity often converge, but not always: A global meta-analysis [PDF]
It is through urban biodiversity that the majority of humans experience nature on a daily basis. As cities expand globally, it is increasingly important to understand how biodiversity is shaped by human decisions, institutions, and environments.

How much biodiversity is concealed in the word “biodiversity”?
Amidst a global biodiversity crisis1, the word 'biodiversity' has become indispensable for conservation and management2. Yet, biodiversity is often used as a buzzword in scientific literature. Resonant titles of papers claiming to have studied 'global biodiversity' may be used to promote research focused on a few taxonomic groups, habitats, or facets ...

How do we quantify biodiversity? All the evidence in one place. [PDF]
Biodiversity is a multi-dimensional concept that is represented by a large variety of measures. This complexity and lack of consistency limits the development of a coherent scientific understanding of biodiversity and how properties, such as ecosystem ...
