Differences among Major Taxa in the Extent of Ecological Knowledge across Four Major Ecosystems

PLoS ONE, 2011
Existing knowledge shapes our understanding of ecosystems and is critical for ecosystem-based management of the world's natural resources. Typically this knowledge is biased among taxa, with some taxa far better studied than others, but the extent of this bias is poorly known.

Coaxial Melt Electrowriting

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Coaxial melt electrowriting is established to produce dual‐property microfibers with diameters spanning 1.6–29.2 µm. Stable coaxial laminar flow is preserved under electrohydrodynamic thinning, enabling controlled binary and gradient material switching within individual continuous fibers.

Annual extent of prescribed burning on moorland in Great Britain and overlap with ecosystem services

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
In the UK uplands, prescribed burning of unenclosed heath, grass and blanket bog (‘moorland’) is used to support game shooting and grazing. Burning on moorland is contentious due to its impact on peat soils, hydrology and habitat condition.

Global extent and change in human modification of terrestrial ecosystems from 1990 to 2022

Scientific Data
Abstract Habitat loss and degradation associated with industrial development is the primary threat and dominant driver of biodiversity loss globally. Spatially-explicit datasets that estimate human pressures are essential to understand the extent and rate of anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems and are critical to ...

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework needs headline indicators that can actually monitor forest integrity

Environmental Research: Ecology
Intact native forests under negligible large-scale human pressures (i.e. high-integrity forests) are critical for biodiversity conservation. However, high-integrity forests are declining worldwide due to deforestation and forest degradation.
