Body size is a key feature of organisms and varies continuously because of the effects of
natural selection on the size‐dependency of resource acquisition and mortality rates. This …

Estimates of non-microbial diversity on Earth range from 2 million to over 50 million species,
with great uncertainties in numbers of insects, fungi, nematodes, and deep-sea organisms …

This comprehensive, groundbreaking book on the biodiversity of parasites offers a clear and
accessible explanation of how parasite biodiversity provides insight into the history and …

Effective biomonitoring is critical for driving management outcomes that ensure long‐term

Knowledge about biodiversity remains inadequate because most species living on Earth
were still not formally described (the Linnean shortfall) and because geographical …

It is well known that biodiversity data from historical inventories presents important
geographic and taxonomic biases. Due to this, current knowledge on the distribution of most …

Aim Mountain regions are particularly well‐suited for investigating the impact of climate
change on species ranges because they encompass both upper and lower limits of species …

Although the number of biodiversity studies is increasing, the total number of species in
different taxonomic groups remains uncertain. Estimates of the number of described species …

Insects do not live in isolation. They interact with the abiotic environment and are major
components of the terrestrial and freshwater biotic milieus. They are crucial to so many …

Basic and applied studies based on biodiversity data need accurate information on the
