ITS-based assessment of Madagascar’s fungal diversity and arrival of ectomycorrhizal fungi to the island [PREPRINT].
Madagascar is known for its high diversity and endemism of Fauna and Flora, which makes it particularly interesting for research on diversity and evolution. Fungi, however, have been largely overlooked, and whether fungi exhibit the same patterns as animals and plants has yet to be further examined. We collected fungal...Opportunistic survey, Madagascar, Ectomycorrhizal fungi, and Biodiversity

Improving biodiversity protection through artificial intelligence.
Over a million species face extinction, highlighting the urgent need for conservation policies that maximize the protection of biodiversity to sustain its manifold contributions to people’s lives. Here we present a novel framework for spatial conservation prioritization based on reinforcement learning that consistently outperforms available state-of-the-art software using simulated and... -

Nocturnal pollination: an overlooked ecosystem service vulnerable to environmental change.
Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees. As knowledge of how these plant-pollinator systems function, their relevance to food security and biodiversity, and the fragility of these mutually beneficial...Macgregor, Callum J. ; Scott-Brown, Alison S.

Fortuitous Alignment: The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are aimed at improving human well-being at a global scale, whilst enhancing and preserving global biodiversity. Recently, botanic gardens worldwide have become more conservation focused, and gardens are increasingly influential in scientific roles that address both biodiversity loss and human well-being—particularly in urban areas. As... -
