Expanding Monitoring Capacity for Potential Invasive Species in Arctic Canada With Environmental DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
Rapidly changing climatic conditions combined with increasing shipping traffic is going to accelerate the introduction and persistence of marine invasive species in Arctic Canada. To address this emerging threat, we propose seawater environmental DNA metabarcoding on board ships of opportunity (i.e., cruise ships) as a cost‐effective method for ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity. [PDF]
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Automatic species identification from images for Aotearoa. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Image classification for species identification has applications in areas such as conservation and education. Given New Zealand's geographic isolation and the relatively small number of species present on its islands, there is an opportunity to apply machine learning to enable accurate automatic species identification for Aotearoa, even on ...

Exploration and Effectiveness of Trichoderma sp. from Jember and Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia Cacao Plantation as A Biological Control of Phytophthora palmivora [PDF]
Fruit rot disease is very damaging to cacao pods, which is caused by Phytoptora palmivora. The attack rate of P. palmivora varies. In Java, losses due to this disease reduce yields by 90 %. P. palmivora is a soil–borne pathogen.
