A growing need to manage marine biodiversity sustainably at local, regional and global
scales cannot be met by applying existing biological data. Abiotic surrogates of biodiversity …

Reflecting increased interest in the field and its relevance in global environmental issues,
Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review, Volume 45 provides authoritative …

Understanding patterns of connectivity among populations of marine organisms is essential
for the development of realistic, spatially explicit models of population dynamics. Two …

Assessing historical changes in marine biodiversity at regional or local scales is often
challenging due to insufficient long-term data for most marine organisms. Yet, these …

Biodiversity embraces multiple facets of the variability of nature, although most research has
dealt separately with population-, species-and assemblage-level measures. This review …

Prioritizing and assessing the condition of sites for conservation action requires robust and
ergonomic methodological tools. We focus here on prioritizing freshwater sites using two …

Insectivorous bats are efficient predators of pest arthropods in agroecosystems. This pest
control service has been estimated to be worth billions of dollars to agriculture globally …

Traditional measures of biodiversity, such as species richness, usually treat species as
being equal. As this is obviously not the case, measuring diversity in terms of features …

Monitoring changes in population levels of a wide range of species in biodiversity research
and conservation requires practical, easy-to-use and efficient assessment and monitoring …

Aim Virtually all studies exploring the use of taxonomic surrogates in assessing patterns of
diversity have focused on clear shifts in the location of samples in multivariate space. The …
