Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Biogeographic Regions Within Indomalaya: An Integrated Approach Using Bird Distributions
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographic regions define areas of shared species distributions and provide a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses. Recent quantitative methods have improved the delineation of these regions, but each relies on assumptions about how species distributions are summarised and varies in sensitivity to spatial scale.
