A Standardized Workflow Based on the STAVIRO Unbaited Underwater Video System for Monitoring Fish and Habitat Essential Biodiversity Variables in Coastal Areas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV) related to benthic habitats and high trophic levels such as fish communities must be measured at fine scale but monitored and assessed at spatial scales that are relevant for policy and management actions.

Ecological Integrity of Hybrid Ecosystems in the Anthropocene: The Impact of Self-Organization on Function and Sustainability. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We propose a conceptual framework for assessing ecological integrity in hybrid ecosystems based on the identification of active self‐organizing processes and the mapping of their functional contributions. This process‐based approach offers a practical and scalable tool for monitoring ecosystem health and guiding adaptive management strategies in an era

Disentangling linkages between satellite-derived indicators of forest structure and productivity for ecosystem monitoring [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The essential biodiversity variables (EBV) framework has been proposed as a monitoring system of standardized, comparable variables that represents a minimum set of biological information to monitor biodiversity change at large spatial extents.

Evolutionary Footprint: A Systemic Indicator in Evolution, Ecology and Conservation. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT The growing awareness of evolutionary responses to human‐induced environmental changes highlights the need to better understand and integrate evolutionary perspectives into life sciences and, more broadly, into biodiversity conservation. Evolutionary changes are complex and multi‐causal, operating across numerous timescales.

PEP725: 15 years of driving European and global phenology science. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Phenology – the timing of seasonal biological events – is a sensitive indicator of climate change and ecosystem dynamics. Long‐term, broad‐scale phenological data are crucial for understanding and predicting plant responses to environmental change.

How Essential Biodiversity Variables and remote sensing can help national biodiversity monitoring

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2017
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) have been suggested to harmonize biodiversity monitoring worldwide. Their aim is to provide a small but comprehensive set of monitoring variables that would give a balanced picture of the development of ...

Tailoring evidence into action: Using a co‐design approach for biodiversity information in the Tropical Andes

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
Biodiversity conservation is a complex and transdisciplinary problem that requires engagement and cooperation among scientific, societal, economic, and political institutions. However, historical approaches have often failed to bring together and address

Biodiversity data provision and decision-making - addressing the challenges [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2017
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are measurements required for study, reporting, and management of biodiversity change. They are being developed to support consistency, from the collection to the reporting of biodiversity data at the national ...
