Monitoring in biodiversity offsetting

Global Ecology and Conservation
Biodiversity offsetting is the process of using protection, habitat restoration and habitat maintenance to compensate for ecological damage to biodiversity caused by human activity, such as construction of infrastructure projects.

The Field Automatic Insect Recognition‐Device—A Non‐Lethal Semi‐Automatic Malaise Trap for Insect Biodiversity Monitoring: Proof of Concept [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Field monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding insect dynamics within ecosystems. It facilitates pest distribution assessment, control measure evaluation, and prediction of pest outbreaks.

Pooling size sorted Malaise trap fractions to maximize taxon recovery with metabarcoding [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Small and rare specimens can remain undetected when metabarcoding is applied on bulk samples with a high specimen size heterogeneity. This is especially critical for Malaise trap samples, where most of the biodiversity is contributed by small ...

Metabarcoding Malaise traps and soil eDNA reveals seasonal and local arthropod diversity shifts

Scientific Reports, 2021
Forest habitats host enormous diversity, but little is known about the seasonal turnover of arthropod species between the above- and below ground forest layers.

Applying remote sensing for large‐landscape problems: Inventorying and tracking habitat recovery for a broadly distributed Species At Risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Anthropogenic habitat alteration is leading to the reduction of global biodiversity. Consequently, there is an imminent need to understand the state and trend of habitat alteration across broad areas.

Unearthing the Potential of Soil eDNA Metabarcoding—Towards Best Practice Advice for Invertebrate Biodiversity Assessment

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Metabarcoding has proven to be a powerful tool to assess ecological patterns and diversity from different habitats. Terrestrial invertebrate diversity is frequently based on bulk samples, which require comparatively high sampling effort.

Biodiversity monitoring in Europe: User and policy needs

Conservation Letters, 2023
Abstract To achieve the goals of the 2030 Global Biodiversity Framework, the European Biodiversity Strategy, and the EU Green Deal, biodiversity monitoring is critical. Monitoring efforts in Europe, however, suffer from gaps and biases in taxonomy, spatial coverage, and temporal resolution, resulting in fragmented and disconnected ...

Abundance estimation with DNA metabarcoding – recent advancements for terrestrial arthropods [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2023
Biodiversity is declining at alarming rates worldwide and large-scale monitoring is urgently needed to understand changes and their drivers. While classical taxonomic identification of species is time and labour intensive, the combination with DNA-based ...

Applying and testing a novel method to estimate animal density from motion‐triggered cameras

Ecosphere, 2022
Estimating animal abundance and density are fundamental goals of many wildlife monitoring programs. Camera trapping has become an increasingly popular tool to achieve these monitoring goals due to recent advances in modeling approaches and the capacity ...
