DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1694
Abstract: Traditionally, the generation and use of biodiversity data and their associated specimen objects have been primarily the purview of individuals and small research groups. While deposition of data and specimens in herbaria and other repositories… read more here.

Macrophytes promote aquatic insect conservation in artificial ponds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3157
Abstract: Farmland ponds promote regional aquatic biodiversity; however, optimally managing these ponds requires knowledge on how the biodiversity differs between ponds across catchments with different land uses. This study investigated the response of macrophytes, both those… read more here.

A phylogenetic perspective on biodiversity patterns of Afrotropical freshwater crabs (Crustacea, Decapoda, Potamonautidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.3231
Abstract: Evolutionary‐based measures of biodiversity play an increasingly important role in theoretical conservation biology, complementing more traditional methods such as patterns of species richness and endemicity. To date, very few studies have used evolutionary data to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bse.2442
Abstract: This paper seeks to contribute to the existing business strategy and the environment literature by investigating the disclosure practices of Biodiversity/Extinction (B/E) and threatened species. We use greenwashing theory to understand global companies’ motivation to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10031
Abstract: Abstract Insects are the richest and most diverse group of animals and yet there remains a lack, not only of systematic research into their distribution across some key regions of the planet, but of standardized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10059
Abstract: Abstract The ecological effects on populations of non‐game species driven by the annual release and management of tens of millions of gamebirds for recreational shooting are complex and relatively poorly understood. We investigated these effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10148
Abstract: Abstract Each year, hundreds of scientific works with species' geographical data are published. However, these data can be challenging to identify, collect, and integrate into analytical workflows due to differences in reporting structures, storage formats,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3199
Abstract: Abstract We present a framework for biodiversity metrics that organizes the growing panoply of metrics. Our framework distinguishes metrics based on the type of information–abundance, phylogeny, function–and two common properties–magnitude and variability. Our new metrics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3287
Abstract: Abstract Livestock grazing affects over 60% of the world's agricultural lands and can influence rangeland ecosystem services and the quantity and quality of wildlife habitat, resulting in changes in biodiversity. Concomitantly, livestock grazing has the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4876
Abstract: Abstract The structure and composition of forest ecosystems are expected to shift with climate‐induced changes in precipitation, temperature, fire, carbon mitigation strategies, and biological disturbance. These factors are likely to have biodiversity implications. However, climate‐driven… read more here.
