Sampling ecological interactions presents similar challenges, problems, potential biases
and constraints as sampling individuals and species in biodiversity inventories. Robust …

Mutant spectrum dynamics (changes in the related mutants that compose viral populations)
has a decisive impact on virus behavior. The several platforms of next generation …

Although it is generally agreed that the Arctic flora is among the youngest and least diverse
on Earth, the processes that shaped it are poorly understood. Here we present 50 thousand …

Most eukaryotic organisms are arthropods. Yet, their diversity in rich terrestrial ecosystems is
still unknown. Here we produce tangible estimates of the total species richness of …

The fossil software package is a collection of analytical tools to synthetically analyse
ecological and geographical data sets. The software is designed to be used with the R …

Tropical reefs shelter one quarter to one third of all marine species but one third of the coral
species that construct reefs are now at risk of extinction. Because traditional methods for …

The geographic ranges of many species have shifted polewards and uphill in elevation
associated with climate warming, leading to increases in species richness at high latitudes …

With up to a quarter of all insect species heading towards extinction over the next few
decades, there is now a pressing need to summarize the techniques available for measuring …

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 …

The shark fin trade is a major driver of shark exploitation in fisheries all over the world, most
of which are not managed on a species‐specific basis. Species‐specific trade information …
