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

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

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.
