DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.04.038
Abstract: Biodiversity is threatened by climate change and other human activities [1], but to assess impacts, we also need to identify the current distribution of species on Earth. Predicting abundance and richness patterns is difficult in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.841175
Abstract: The biological activity of marine vertebrates represents an input of nutrients for Antarctic terrestrial biota, with relevant consequences for the entire ecosystem. Even though microbial mats assemble most of the biological diversity of the non-marine… read more here.
