Remote sensing for biodiversity science and conservation
Remote-sensing systems typically produce imagery that averages information over tens or even hundreds of square meters – far too coarse to detect most organisms – so the remote sensing of biodiversity would appear to be a fool’s errand. However, advances in the spatial and spectral resolutions of sensors now available to ecologists are making the direct remote sensing of certain aspects of biod...

متن کاملTaxonomic bias and international biodiversity conservation research
While greater research on threatened species alone cannot ensure their protection, understanding taxonomic bias may be helpful to address knowledge gaps in order to identify research directions and inform policy. Using data for over 10 000 animal species listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, we investigated taxonomic and geographic biodiversity conservation rese...
متن کاملWhy Biodiversity Research needs Semantics
Biodiversity science investigates biological diversity on all levels and scales. There is strong evidence that biodiversity is declining at unprecedented rates and that this will have dire consequences for humankind. Consequently, there is a strong need for science to support political decision making in this area. Thus key questions of biodiversity science are: What is out there? Why is it the...
