Repeated subsamples during DNA extraction reveal increased diversity estimates in DNA metabarcoding of Malaise traps

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
With increased application of DNA metabarcoding in biodiversity assessment, various laboratory protocols have been optimized, and their further evaluation is subject of current research. Homogenization of bulk samples and subsequent DNA extraction from a

Hábitat, agregaciones y desarrollo postembrionario del milpiés Hirudicryptus canariensis (Loksa, 1967) en el bosque de laurisilva de Tenerife (Diplopoda: Siphonocryptida)

Graellsia, 2023
Los milpiés (Diplopoda) son detritívoros que viven generalmente ocultos dentro del suelo y la hojarasca, y en la mayoría de las especies poco se conoce sobre su biología.

Task‐Oriented Path Planning Towards Autonomous Sensor Network Deployment in Rainforest Canopies

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
An informative path planner for drone‐based deployment of wireless sensor networks in rainforest canopies is presented, addressing key challenges in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring. By integrating canopy surface detection with connectivity‐aware sampling under strict flight constraints, the approach enables efficient and reliable aerial sensor ...

Climate-ready conservation objectives: a scoping study [PDF]

, 2013
Anticipated future climate change is very likely to have a wide range of different types of ecological impact on biodiversity across the whole of Australia. There is a high degree of confidence that these changes will be significant, affecting almost all

Managing Australia’s biodiversity in a changing climate: the way forward [PDF]

, 2013
Australia has a rich biodiversity, with between 7 and 10 per cent of all species on Earth occurring here. There are between 600 000 and 700 000 species found in Australia, many of which are unique (endemic) to the country.

Marine biodiversity-ecosystem functions under uncertain environmental futures

, 2010
Anthropogenic activity is currently leading to dramatic transformations of ecosystems and losses of biodiversity. The recognition that these ecosystems provide services that are essential for human well-being has led to a major interest in the forms of ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

‘I owe it to the animals’: The bidirectionality of Swiss alpine farmers' relational values

People and Nature, 2023
Relational values have recently been proposed as a concept to expand our understanding of environmental values from the categories previously dominating the discourse: instrumental (nature for people's sake) and intrinsic values (nature for its own sake).

Approaches to defining a planetary boundary for biodiversity [PDF]

, 2014
The idea that there is an identifiable set of boundaries, beyond which anthropogenic change will put the Earth system outside a safe operating space for humanity, is attracting interest in the scientific community and gaining support in the environmental
