The ACBRs represent a tool for biodiversity conservation planning. In this context, ASMAs and ASPAs serve as useful management tools, as they impose different forms of biosecurity27. Antarctica hosts a surprisingly rich microbial diversity in its cold desert soils. Metagenomic, biogeochemical, and ...
Climate change is rearranging the mosaic of biodiversity worldwide. These broad-scale species re-distributions affect the structure and composition of communities with a ripple effect on multiple biodiversity facets. Using European Odonata, we asked: i) how climate change will redefine taxonomic, phylog...
is not devoid of life1, rather contains strong environmental gradients on the planet and therefore provides a natural laboratory to study the relevance of environmental variability for biodiversity2. Within and around its icy surface we encounter uniquely ...
The invasive populations of common reed have split from their ancestral populations less than 200 years ago and are thus genetically still part of the EU lineage. Similar to the other individuals in EU lineage, they are still allotetraploids, and therefore polyploidization is not a causal factor ...
state-response" model to construct the index system and use hierarchical analysis to determine the weights of each index [87]. Wang and Du [86] used GIS and MCDA to optimize the monitoring system of WNH and concluded that forest, tourism resources, biodiversity, and conservation priority are ...
Rewarewa (Knightia excelsa, Proteaceae) is a tree species endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand, with a natural distribution spanning Te Ika-a-Māui (North Island) and the top of Te Waipounamu (South Island). We used the pseudo-chromosome genome assembly of re
Countries need ambitious urban biodiversity targets under the EU Nature Restoration Law The EU Nature Restoration Law could rapidly advance ecosystem restoration also in cities. Yet the law focuses on green cover but ignores the ecological quality and biodiversity of urban green spaces, although these ...

The eastern coast of China, encompassing cities in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, is renowned for diverse array of natural ecological habitats that provide a suitable environment for a rich biodiversity of mammals, plants, invertebrates, and microbes. These regions inhabit...
In Indonesia, smallholder farmers play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and cultural practices closely tied to food security. However, they face numerous sustainability challenges. Agroecology offers a promising approach to address these challen
