Biodiversity remains relatively unknown and understudied in many parts of the developing world with significant information gaps, stark contrast to areas developed world, where knowledge about biodiversity can approach encyclopedic. Access resources, such as funding, data, information, expertise, biological collections (often collected by colonial-era scientists from across world), is often qui...

Research in Macaronesia has led to substantial advances ecology, evolution and conservation biology. We review the scientific developments achieved this region, outline promising research avenues enhancing conservation. Some of these discoveries indicate that Macaronesian flora fauna are composed rather young lineages, not Tertiary relicts, predominantly European origin. also seems be an import...
