From Biodiversity Observation Networks to Datasets and Workflows Supporting Biodiversity Indicators, a French Biodiversity Observation Network (BON) Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV) Operationalization Pilot using Galaxy and Ecological Metadata Language [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2022
Integration of biological data with different ecological scales is complex! The biodiversity community (scientists, policy makers, managers, citizen, NGOs) needs to build a framework of harmonized and interoperable data from raw, heterogeneous and scattered datasets.

Advancing terrestrial biodiversity monitoring with satellite remote sensing in the context of the Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Satellite remote sensing (SRS) provides huge potential for tracking progress towards conservation targets and goals, but SRS products need to be tailored towards the requirements of ecological users and policymakers. In this viewpoint article, we propose

Spatial predictions of regional species distribution essential biodiversity variables (SD EBVs): A bird perspective in the Swiss Alps [PDF]

, 2020
This study aims to describe and demonstrate the applicability of a novel approach used to develop and test new methods based on species distribution models (SDMs) to establish spatial predictions of EBVs for birds based on bird diversity metrics, such as the distributions of properties of key bird habitats.
