Biodiversity monitoring in Europe: user and policy needs
Moersberger, Hannah; Valdez, Jose; Martin, Juliette G. C.; Junker, Jessica; Georgieva, Ivelina; Bauer, Silke; Beja, Pedro; Breeze, Tom D.To achieve the goals of the 2030 Global Biodiversity Framework, the EuropeanBiodiversity Strategy, and the EU Green Deal, biodiversity monitoring is critical.Monitoring efforts in Europe, however, suffer from gaps and biases in taxon-omy, spatial coverage, and temporal resolution, resulting in fragmented anddisconnected data. To assess user and policy needs in biodiversity monitoring,we employed a four-step use...
Dimensions of invasiveness: Links between local abundance, geographic range siz...
Fristoe, Trevor S; Chytrý, Milan; Dawson, Wayne; Essl, Franz; Heleno, Ruben; Kreft, Holger; Maurel, Noëlie; Pergl, Jan; Pyšek, Petr; Seebens, HannoUnderstanding drivers of success for alien species can inform on potential future invasions. Recent conceptual advances highlight that species may achieve invasiveness via performance along at least three distinct dimensions: 1) local abundance, 2) geographic range size, and 3) habitat breadth in naturalized distributions. Associations among these dimensions and the factors that determine success in each have y...

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene
Dornelas, Maria; Antão, Laura H.; Moyes, Faye; Bates, Amanda E.; Magurran, Anne E.; Adam, Dušan; Akhmetzhanova, Asem A.; Appeltans, WardMotivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analy...
