Existing indicators do not adequately monitor progress toward meeting invasive alien species targets

Conservation Letters, 2022
Monitoring the progress parties have made toward meeting global biodiversity targets requires appropriate indicators. The recognition of invasive alien species (IAS) as a biodiversity threat has led to the development of specific targets aiming at ...

Web of interactions among diversity approaches to identify ecosystem essential variables: Negev Highlands case study

Ecosphere, 2019
The concept of ecosystem diversity essential variables (EEVs) offers a foundation for ecosystem studies. Identification of EEVs continues to be a challenge in the field of ecology, due to the lack of a conceptual and applied framework.

Towards an Essential Biodiversity Variable for Species Interactions [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2018
Can Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) be developed to monitor changes in species interactions? That was the difficult question asked at the GLOBIS-B workshop in February, 2017 in which >50 experts participated. EBVs can be defined as harmonized measurements that allow us to inform policy about essential changes in biodiversity. They can be
