A strategy for the next decade to address data deficiency in neglected biodiver...
Hochkirch, Axel; Samways, Michael J.; Gerlach, Justin; Böhm, Monika; Williams, Paul; Cardoso, Pedro; Cumberlidge, Neil; Stephenson, P. J.Measuring progress toward international biodiversity targets requires robust information on the conservation status of species, which the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species provides. However, data and capacity are lacking for most hyperdiverse groups, such as invertebrates, plants, and fungi, particularly in megadiverse or high-endemism regions. Conservation pol...
International scientists formulate a roadmap for insect conservation and recovery
Harvey, Jeffrey A.; Heinen, Robin; Armbrecht, Inge; Basset, Yves; Baxter-Gilbert, James H.; Bezemer, T.

These declines affect all functional groups: herbivores, detritivores, parasitoids, predators and pollinators. Insec...
