Typology of the ecological impacts of biological invasions
Carneiro, Laís; Leroy, Boris; Capinha, César; Bradshaw, Corey J.A.; Bertolino, Sandro; Catford, Jane A.; Camacho-Cervantes, Morelia; Bojko, JamieBiological invasions alter ecosystems by disrupting ecological processes that can degrade biodiversity, harm human health, and cause massive economic burdens. Existing frameworks to classify the ecological impacts either miss many types of impact or conflate mechanisms (causes) with the impacts themselves (consequences). We propose a comprehensive typology of 19 types of ecological impact across six levels of e...

A global initiative for ecological and evolutionary hologenomics
Leonard, Aoife; Abalos, Javier; Adhola, Titus; Aguirre, Windsor; Aizpurua, Ostaizka; Ali, Shahzad; Andreone, Franco; Aubret, FabienThe Earth Hologenome Initiative (EHI) is a global collaboration to generate and analyse hologenomic data from wild animals and associated microorganisms using standardised methodologies underpinned by open and inclusive research principles. Initially focused on vertebrates, it aims to re-examine ecological and evolutionary questions by studying host–microbiota interactions from a systemic perspective.
A Global Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Transport and other Linear Infra...
Georgiadis, Lazaros; Sjolund, Anders; Seiler, Andreas; Mira, António; Rosell, Carme; Remus-Papp, Cristian; Hahn, Elke; Mathews, Fiona; Bekker, HansThe current Global Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Transport and other Linear Infrastructure primarily sets up the objectives and principles for governments and organizations for mainstreaming biodiversity and ecological connectivity on transport infrastructure development. Additionally, it addresses the overall framework of stakeholders who must be engaged as key players in: • launching proactive policie...
Liberating host–virus knowledge from biological dark data
Upham, Nathan S; Poelen, Jorrit H; Paul, Deborah; Groom, Quentin J; Simmons, Nancy B; Vanhove, Maarten P M; Bertolino, Sandro; Reeder, DeeAnn MConnecting basic data about bats and other potential hosts of SARS-CoV-2 with their ecological context is crucial to the understanding of the emergence and spread of the virus. However, when lockdowns in many countries started in March, 2020, the world's bat experts were locked out of their research laboratories, which in turn impeded access to large volumes of offline ecological and taxonomic data. Pandemic lo...
