Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders
We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Navigating uncertainty in life cycle assessment‐based approaches to biodiversity footprinting
Abstract The use of life cycle assessment (LCA) methods is rapidly expanding as a means of estimating the biodiversity impacts of organisations across complex value chains. However, these methods have limitations and substantial uncertainties, which are rarely communicated in the results of LCAs.

A nature‐positive world is more than the sum of its parts
Abstract Adoption of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM‐GBF) has led to further growth in attention being directed to the challenge of bending the curve of biodiversity loss to achieve a nature‐positive world. However, concerns have been raised that, unless progress towards achieving net gain in biodiversity can be measured ...

Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...
