Migrant frugivorous birds can partially assist fleshy‐fruited plants fruiting during spring migration to track climate change, although severe warming and land‐cover alteration may strongly constrain seed‐dispersal range filling. Importantly, range filling capacity is uneven across plant species: differences in climatically suitable ranges and ...

Mismatch Between Current Essential Biodiversity Variables and Available Data for Southeast Asia
The essential biodiversity variables provide a centralized group of variables to enable the monitoring of biodiversity. Yet, some of the most diverse parts of the planet may lack the data to be able to develop these variables. Here we explore the availability of that data for one of the most diverse parts of the world, the Southeast Asian region, and ...

Active Filtration of Airborne eDNA for Vertebrate Surveys in Tropical Caves
ABSTRACT Hidden from sunlight, caves are remarkable subterraneous ecosystems that host a wide range of animals, including unique species. Conventional cave biodiversity surveys can be physically challenging, disturb sensitive vertebrate communities, or require animal collection.

A Museum‐Curated, Voucher‐Backed 12S Barcode Reference Library for Fishes of the Ecuadorian Amazon
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an emerging method that promises to expedite and improve biodiversity surveys by identifying species from the genetic material they shed into the environment. eDNA methods offer many advantages over conventional specimen‐based surveys, but their effectiveness hinges on reference libraries, which for ...

Abstract The biodiversity crisis demands new approaches to describing and characterising species that can scale beyond the capacity of professional taxonomists alone. Hundreds of millions of specimen images are now openly available, yet almost none carry structured information about the morphology they depict. We present the Descriptron‐GBIF Annotator,
