Macroinvertebrate community diversity and habitat quality relationships along a large river from targeted eDNA metabarcode assays

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2020
Species compositions and diversity levels of aquatic macroinvertebrate communities provide important indicators of ecosystem health. However, such community analyses typically are limited by time and effort of sampling, sorting, and identifications, as ...

Biodiversity monitoring, ecological integrity, and the design of the New Zealand Biodiversity Assessment Framework

open access: yesNew Zealand journal of ecology, 2020
The New Zealand Department of Conservation is responsible for biodiversity management over approximately one-third of New Zealand’s land area and a network of marine protected areas; it also has a more general role in managing protected species and ...

Acoustic auto-encoders for biodiversity assessment

open access: yesEcological Informatics, 2021
Abstract Continuous audio recordings are playing an ever more important role in conservation and biodiversity monitoring, however, listening to these recordings is often infeasible, as they can be thousands of hours long. Automating analysis using machine learning algorithms requires a feature representation.

Western Blot Analysis of Chloroplast HSP70B in Chlorella Species

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2013
Western blotting allows for the specific detection of proteins by an antibody of interest. This protocol utilizes isolation of total proteins protocol for Chlorella vulgaris prior to gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the selected antibodies are

Assessment of the invasive status of newly recorded cactus species in the central Tugela River basin

open access: yesBothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2015
Background: Current distribution information on cacti in the Tugela River basin in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is scant. Accordingly, surveys in this region substantially improve our understanding of regional invasions by this succulent group.

RECONCILING METHODOLOGICALLY DIFFERENT BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENTS [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2005
Ongoing large-scale habitat disturbance requires quick identification of conservation priorities such as targeting sites rich in species and/or endemics. Biodiversity assessments are time consuming and expensive, so surveys often rely on partial sampling.

How differences in the settling behaviour of moths (Lepidoptera) may contribute to sampling bias when using automated light traps

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
Quantitative community-wide moth surveys frequently employ flight-interception traps equipped with UV-light emitting sources as attractants. It has long been known that moth species differ in their responsiveness to light traps.

An Urban Biodiversity Assessment Framework That Combines an Urban Habitat Classification Scheme and Citizen Science Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
A lack of information about urban habitats, and a lack of professionally-collected species occurrence data are often cited as major impediments to completing bioassessments in urban landscapes. We developed an urban biodiversity assessment framework that

What are the main environmental impacts and products contributing to the biodiversity footprint of EU consumption? A comparison of life cycle impact assessment methods and models

open access: yesThe International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2023
Purpose Recent developments in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) target at better addressing biodiversity impacts, including the extended modeling of drivers of biodiversity loss. This led to the development of multiple LCIA methods addressing the area
