Estimating global bee species richness and taxonomic gaps [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRobust species richness estimates are critical for meaningful conservation prioritisation, understanding ecosystem resilience, and studying evolutionary processes. Yet, they remain elusive even for some of the best-studied groups and regions. As keystone

High canopy cover of invasive Acer negundo L. affects ground vegetation taxonomic richness [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 We assessed the link between canopy cover degree and ground vegetation taxonomic richness under alien ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo) and other (native or alien) tree species. We investigated urban and suburban forests in the large city of Yekaterinburg,

Ancient origin of high taxonomic richness among insects. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 Insects are a hyper-diverse group, comprising nearly three-quarters of all named animal species on the Earth, but the environmental drivers of their richness and the roles of ecological interactions and evolutionary innovations remain unclear. Previous studies have argued that family-level insect richness increased continuously over the evolutionary ...

Freshwater Mollusca of Kazakhstan (Central Asia): species composition and estimation of taxonomic richness. [PDF]
ZookeysCentral Asia, including its freshwater basins, belongs to the Palearctic realm but exhibits significant faunal heterogeneity with localised hotspots of endemism. While several Central Asian countries have been the subject of malacological reviews, Kazakhstan, the largest country of the region, lacks a comprehensive and taxonomically updated species ...

Non-native vascular flora of the Arctic: Taxonomic richness, distribution and pathways. [PDF]
Ambio, 2020 We present a comprehensive list of non-native vascular plants known from the Arctic, explore their geographic distribution, analyze the extent of naturalization and invasion among 23 subregions of the Arctic, and examine pathways of introductions. The presence of 341 non-native taxa in the Arctic was confirmed, of which 188 are naturalized in at least ...

Liberating the Richness of Facts implicit in taxonomic Publication: The Plazi Workflow [PDF]
Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2020 The growing corpus of hundreds of millions of pages of taxonomic literature reporting research results based on specimens is very rich in facts. In order to make them reusable, Plazi, Pensoft and Zenodo are building and maintaining the Biodiversity Literature Repository which includes a workflow to discover, describe, store, in order to making these ...
