BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Comparison of staff workload between percutaneous nephrolithotomy with and without intraoperative cone‐beam CT: an 18‐month postoperative analysis

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objectives To assess whether hybrid cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT)‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) reduces overall staff demands compared to standard PCNL. Patients and Methods We performed a retrospective study of a randomised controlled trial conducted in a tertiary Dutch urolithiasis centre.
