Global genetic diversity status and trends: towards a suite of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) for genetic composition. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2022 ABSTRACTBiodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies, and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under anthropogenic stressors and global environmental change will require new ways of deriving and applying biodiversity data. A major challenge is that biodiversity data and knowledge

Cataloging Essential Biodiversity Variables with the EBV Data Portal [PDF]
Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2022 Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are used to monitor the status and trends in biodiversity at multiple spatiotemporal scales. These provide an abstraction level between raw biodiversity observations and indicators, enabling better access to policy-relevant biodiversity information.

Building essential biodiversity variables (
Biological Reviews, 2017 ABSTRACTMuch biodiversity data is collected worldwide, but it remains challenging to assemble the scattered knowledge for assessing biodiversity status and trends. The concept of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) was introduced to structure biodiversity monitoring globally, and to harmonize and standardize biodiversity data from disparate sources
