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 ...

Acoustic auto-encoders for biodiversity assessment
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
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
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]
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.

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.

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

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
