Abstract Reliable and current taxonomic data are essential to conservation planning and prioritization. The use of genetic and genomic tools has revealed significant cryptic diversity across taxa and ecosystems, suggesting we are underestimating threatened biodiversity and using outdated species distributions.

Local environment shapes habitat suitability of the endangered mint Dicerandra cornutissima
Using a fine‐scale ecological niche model at 250 m resolution, we identified suitable habitat for the extremelynarrow endemic Dicerandra cornutissima across its known and surrounding range. Field validation confirmed characteristic habitat at predicted suitable sites, while gap analysis showed that only 26% of suitable habitat occurs within protected ...

Abstract While the presence of invasive plants as contaminants in potted plants is a well‐known phenomenon, its significance as a potential phytosanitary risk remains frequently underestimated. Coco peat, often used as a growing medium for potted plants, is also imported as a standalone commodity, creating an additional pathway for introduction.

Towards a unified publicly accessible database of avian type specimens
Type specimens represent the crucial physical reference for any scientific bird name, but type material is scattered widely across the globe, and there is still no one comprehensive source documenting the presence, status and condition of all avian type specimens, as well as associated information on nomenclature and the validity of individual names ...

The quality of GBIF's taxonomic classification
In some recent posts I've been exploring the quality of GBIF's taxonomic data. I've done some further analyses and decided to write this up in something more than a blog post. I'm writing a draft which you can see on GitHub. It tackles just one issue, namely what happens when you combine taxonomic names from multiple sources and don't know that some of

Species occurrence data are essential for understanding biodiversity patterns; however, the necessary fieldwork to generate them demands substantial resources and time. Citizen science programmes, such as birdwatching initiatives, can complement traditional sampling by expanding data collection.
