pylifemap: Mapping data onto the tree of life

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The need to visualize data associated with NCBI Taxonomy Identifiers is growing in various biological fields ranging from comparative genomics to metagenomics and metabarcoding, and even for outreach. No tool today allows visualization of such data while still keeping the full vision of the whole taxonomy, possibly causing a biased view of the

Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...
