A global biodiversity observing system to unite monitoring and guide action - Nature Ecology & Evolution

The rate and extent of global biodiversity change is surpassing our ability to measure, monitor and forecast trends. We propose an interconnected worldwide system of observation networks — a global biodiversity observing system (GBiOS) — to coordinate monitoring worldwide and inform action to reach international biodiversity targets.

Mass production of unvouchered records fails to represent global biodiversity patterns - Nature Ecology & Evolution

An interrogation of almost 2 billion occurrence records for terrestrial plants and animals derived from either primary voucher specimens or direct observations, including citizen-science data, reveals differences in their coverage of global biodiversity patterns.

GEO BON Global Conference - Monitoring Biodiversity for Action

About The Global Conference on Biodiversity and Monitoring is organized by GEO BON and its partners between 10-13 October 2023 in Montreal, Canada. One year after COP15 of the UN CBD and the landmark agreement of a Global Biodiversity Framework, the GEO BON global conference will foc

A density functional theory for ecology across scales - Nature Communications

Modelling diverse ecological phenomena across scales with a single mathematical framework is challenging. Here, the authors draw on density functional theory to develop a framework that bridges between mechanistic theories at fine scales and statistical models at large scales.

The stability and collapse of marine ecosystems during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction

Modeling marine community food webs across the Permian-Triassic boundary, Huang et al. reveal that the two phases of the largest mass extinction of Earth life in 252 mya behaved differently, with biodiversity declining ∼61 ka before ecosystem collapse, and this shows that biodiversity crash and ecosystem resilience collapse were decoupled.

The collapse of insects

The most diverse group of organisms on the planet are in trouble and the consequences could be dire.
