Earth BioGenome Project: Sequencing life for the future of life
Increasing our understanding of Earth’s biodiversity and responsibly stewarding its resources are among the most crucial scientific and social challenges of the new millennium. These challenges require fundamental new knowledge of the organization, evolution, functions, and interactions among millions of the planet’s organisms. Herein, we present a perspective on the...Lewin, Harris A. ; Robinson, Gene E. ; Kress, W. John ; Baker, William J. ; Coddington, Jonathan …

Unlocking the properties of plants and fungi for sustainable development
Humans have been using biodiversity for hundreds of thousands of years, but at no time in our history has it been more crucial to accelerate our exploration of the useful properties of the species that inhabit the world around us.Antonelli, Alexandre ; Smith, Rhian J. ; Simmonds, Monique S. J.

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such “monodominant” forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence of monodominance in a massive, basin-wide database of forest-inventory...ter Steege, Hans ; Henkel, Terry W. ; Helal, Nora ; Marimon, Beatriz S. ; Marimon-Junior, Ben Hur …

Three new species segregated from Phebalium squamulosum subsp. squamulosum (Rutaceae) based on morphological and phytochemical data
Phebalium graniticola I.Telford & J.J.Bruhl, P. stellatum I.Telford & J.J.Bruhl and P. sylvaticum I.Telford & J.J.Bruhl are segregated as new species from Phebalium squamulosum Vent. subsp. squamulosum. Essential oil data support the recognition of these species as distinct. Distributions of the new species are mapped, and their habitat and conservation status discussed....Telford, Ian R.H. ; Sadgrove, Nicholas J. ; Bruhl, Jeremy J.

Multiple ecosystem services from field margin vegetation for ecological sustainability in agriculture: scientific evidence and knowledge gaps
Background Field margin and non-crop vegetation in agricultural systems are potential ecosystem services providers because they offer semi-natural habitats for both below and above ground animal groups such as soil organisms, small mammals, birds and arthropods that are service supplying units. They are considered as a target area for...
