Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly using big-data approaches to tackle
questions at large spatial, taxonomic, and temporal scales. However, despite recent efforts …

Much of biodiversity remains undiscovered, causing species and their functions to remain
unrealized and potentially lost in ignorance. Here we use extensive species-level data in a …

Accurate mapping of species distributions is a fundamental goal of modern biogeography,
both for basic and applied purposes. This is commonly done by plotting known species …

Parasitoids, which mainly include taxa belonging to the Hymenoptera, play an important role
in the maintenance of other arthropod populations, acting as regulators of host densities …

1. Despite the abundance, richness and ecological importance of insects, distribution
patterns remain unknown for most groups, and this creates serious difficulties for the …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are subject to many sources of uncertainty, limiting their
application in research and practice. One of their main limitations is the quality of the …

Fish biodiversity in inland waters of Turkey has been prepared by reviewing of recent
records. First review of systematic status for Turkey fish fauna dealt with between the years …

Culturomics is an emerging area of study that explores human culture through the
quantitative analysis of large digital bodies of text. Culturomics shows great potential for the …

The global biodiversity of some taxonomic groups is poorly described, but thought to be
decreasing rapidly. Surprisingly, this holds for a group of the world's most iconic large …

Studies on the biogeography of host–parasitoid interactions are scarce, mainly because of
technical difficulties associated with rearing and species identification. DNA barcoding is …
