Environmental Drivers of Geographic Isolation in Three Pika Species in Northeast Asia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Using bias‐corrected species distribution models, we found that geographic isolation among three northeastern Asian pika species (Ochotona coreana, Ochotona mantchurica, and Ochotona hyperborea) reflects both divergent environmental preferences and potential competitive interactions. O.

Beyond spatial bias: understanding the colonial legacies and contemporary social forces shaping biodiversity data

Environmental Research Letters
With over 2 billion observations of species from across the earth, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) has become an influential repository of information for not only ecologists, but also conservation scientists and policy makers.

Ecology and Brain Size Drive Feeding Innovations in Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding innovations are novel or unusual behaviors related to food acquisition that are repeatedly expressed over time, enabling animals to exploit new resources and cope with environmental challenges. Across 955 bird species, larger‐brained birds exhibit higher feeding innovation rates, while ecological factors show variable associations with feeding ...

Design and optimisation of the node specific database infrastructure (Diversity Workbench components and compatible modules): Umbrella project: Establishing the German GBIF Node for Mycology

, 2004
Several Diversity Workbench modules were upgraded and adapted to the demands of the GBIF-D Node for Mycology. The components were partly transferred on a server based database system.

Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

A Comprehensive Repository of Morphological, Life‐History, Ecological, and Environmental Data for Sirenians and Marine Carnivorans Worldwide

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We constructed a standardized data repository for all 46 species, integrating 56 variables across morphological and physiological, life‐history, ecological, biogeographical, environmental, and conservation dimensions. Additionally, we collected data on body size, coloration, distributional range, and extinction risk for all 22 subspecies.

A new R package to parse plant species occurrence records into unique collection events efficiently reduces data redundancy

Scientific Reports
Biodiversity data aggregators, such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) suffer from inflation of the number of occurrence records when data from different databases are merged but not fully reconciled. The ParseGBIF workflow is designed to
