Tropical Important Plant Areas, plant species richness and conservation in the British Virgin Islands.
The global loss of biodiversity is a pressing and urgent issue and halting loss is the focus of many international agreements and targets. However, data on species distribution, threats and protection are limited and sometimes lacking in many parts of the world. The British Virgin Islands (BVI), part of the... -

Estimating Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Diversity Through Deep Learning.
The reliable mapping of species richness is a crucial step for the identification of areas of high conservation priority, alongside other value and threat considerations. This is commonly done by overlapping range maps of individual species, which requires dense availability of occurrence data or relies on assumptions about the presence...Machine learning, Neural network, Species richness, Biodiversity, Plant, Australia, Deep learning, and Diversity pattern

No one-size-fits-all solution to clean GBIF.
Species occurrence records provide the basis for many biodiversity studies. They derive from georeferenced specimens deposited in natural history collections and visual observations, such as those obtained through various mobile applications. Given the rapid increase in availability of such data, the control of quality and accuracy constitutes a particular concern.... -

Diversity patterns and conservation of the Vigna spp. in Mozambique: A comprehensive study.
Mozambique supports a high diversity of native legume species, including many Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs). Among them, the still understudied genus is a particularly notable and promising donor of favorable traits for crop improvement. This study aims to provide an updated overview of CWRs diversity in Mozambique, defining a conservation... -

How diverse are the mountain karst forests of Mexico?
Tropical forests on karstic relief (tropical karst forest) are among the most species-rich biomes. These forests play pivotal roles as global climate regulators and for human wellbeing. Their long-term conservation could be central to global climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation. In Mexico, karst landscapes occupy 20% of the total land... -

Connecting the multiple dimensions of global soil fungal diversity.
How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown, hindering the management of this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high-resolution DNA markers in over 4000 topsoil samples from natural and human-altered ecosystems across all continents, we illustrate the distributions and drivers of different levels of taxonomic...
