Geography of race and income shape spatial data gaps in two national participatory science projects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Context and Need: Participatory projects where people contribute geo‐referenced biodiversity data, like eBird and iNaturalist, are commonly used tools to enhance the data collection capacity for research, management, and environmental learning. Despite their utility, demographic disparities in participation, demographic patterns of residential

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Marine biodiversity conservation

Current Biology, 2021
Marine biodiversity is the essential foundation for the structure and functioning of ocean ecosystems and for providing the full range of ecosystem services that benefit humans on local, regional, and global scales. These benefits include many visible as well as unseen functions and services such as the oxygen we breathe, the seafood we eat, the ...

Marine Biodiversity

2023
The term marine biodiversity encompasses a broad range of subjects, spanning from descriptions of single species, or taxa, to habitats and ecosystems, and indeed the global ocean. The Convention on Biological Diversity defines biodiversity (or biological diversity) as “the variability among living organisms from all sources, including inter alia ...

Measuring Marine Biodiversity

2022
This chapter assesses how biodiversity research is carried out scientifically by being quantified. By measuring a component of marine biodiversity, ecologists can postulate hypotheses and make predictions that can be subjected to rigorous scientific testing. Species diversity is the component of marine biodiversity most commonly measured.
