Towards global interoperability for supporting biodiversity research on essential biodiversity variables (EBVs) [PDF]

Biodiversity, 2015
Essential biodiversity variables (EBVs) have been proposed by the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) to identify a minimum set of essential measurements that are required for studying, monitoring and reporting ...

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-

Combining European Earth Observation products with Dynamic Global Vegetation Models for estimating Essential Biodiversity Variables

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2020
Global, fast and accessible monitoring of biodiversity is one of the main pillars of the efforts undertaken in order to revert it loss. The Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO-BON) provided an expert-based definition of the ...

Research infrastructure challenges in preparing essential biodiversity variables data products for alien invasive species

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Essential biodiversity variables (EBV) are information products for assessing biodiversity change. Species populations EBVs are one class of EBVs that can be used to monitor the spread of invasive species.

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

Multi-Locus Nuclear Marker Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Swiss Orthoptera Unveils Conservation Status Limitations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT With accelerating biodiversity loss, tracking both inter‐ and intraspecific diversity is critical, as within‐species variation underpins population viability and adaptive potential. We developed a new multi‐locus framework, and obtained an Orthoptera‐specific marker panel targeting 398 nuclear loci plus the mitogenome and ribosomal DNA to ...
