Evaluation of geodiversity of the Western Bačka Danube region in the planning documents and opportunities for improvement [PDF]

Zbornik Radova: Geografski institut "Jovan Cvijić", 2008
In the contemporary concept of nature preservation, the preservation of geodiversity slowly becomes normative, although geodiversity is still considered as a geotope in the function of biotope.

Mapping Resilient Landscapes to Climate Change in a Megadiverse Country. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Our mapping of terrestrial climate‐resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil identifies sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Landscape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision‐making and public policy on strategies for conservation,

Geodiversity impacts plant community structure in a semi-arid region [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Geodiversity refers to the variety of geological and physical elements as well as to geomorphological processes of the earth surface. Heterogeneity of the physical environment has an impact on plant diversity.

Response of Montane Fish Biodiversity to Landscape and Anthropogenic Activity Under Potential Water Quality Pathways. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Patterns and mechanisms of fish taxonomic, functional, and genetic diversity were revealed in a montane river by eDNA. This study provides a new point to explore fish biodiversity facets and their patterns with associated indicators and pathways in montane river ecosystems.

Black Mantle Tissue of Endolithic Mussels (Leiosolenus spp.) Is Cloaking Borehole Orifices in Caribbean Reef Corals

Diversity, 2022
Bioerosion caused by boring mussels (Mytilidae: Lithophaginae) can negatively impact coral reef health. During biodiversity surveys of coral-associated fauna in Curaçao (southern Caribbean), morphological variation in mussel boreholes was studied ...
