Reforming society via biodiversity, biodiversity as a public policy Reforming society via biodiversity, biodiversity as a public policy [PDF]
Sciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2011 The French Ecology ministry looks back over several years of public policies for biodiversity conservation. The glass is only half full with mixed results in the field, but significant progress in public debates and some encouraging developments.

Per capita interactions and stress tolerance drive stress-induced changes in biodiversity effects on ecosystem functions [PDF]
, 2016 Environmental stress changes the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Because species interactions shape biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships, changes in per capita ...

Current Biology, 2012 Analysis of short, species-specific sequences known as DNA barcodes has become a widespread practice in biodiversity and ecological research, and also finds practical applications from trade control to biomedicine. One of the challenges is to ensure that the molecular information is reliably linked to physical specimens in collections.
