Cryptic diversity highlights the challenge of Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls and the integral role of taxonomy in biodiversity conservation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
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cryptic diversity across taxa and ecosystems, suggesting we are underestimating threatened biodiversity and using outdated species distributions.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

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
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 ...

Climatic, biogeographic and ecological factors influence the spatial patterns of odd‐ and even‐year dominance in biennial European butterflies and burnet moths

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
250,000 observations of 7 annual, 11 biennial and 4 flexible lepidoptera species in the Alps and over 150,000 observations of 5 biennial species from Scandinavia were analysed. Maps show distinct patterns of different species that fly predominantly in odd or even years in the researched areas.

Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) L’Hér. ex Vent., Microstegium vimineum (Trin.) A.Camus and Parthenium hysterophorus L. imported into the Netherlands via potted ornamentals or their coco peat substrate

open access: yesEPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
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

open access: yes, 2013
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

Citizen science complements functional, taxonomic and spatial coverage of bird collections in the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
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.
