Local staff checked the Malaise traps weekly. Malaise traps collect flying insects. The samples provided the basis for the Madagascar dataset used in study, which fed into the CORAL modeling approach.

Aim Biodiversity inventories are not yet complete, with potentially thousands of species unknown to science. This paper aims to (1) elucidate the historical discovery rate of endemic southern African ...

While extraction of DNA from water samples provides a convenient and non-invasive way to study aquatic biodiversity, reliable evidence that this approach is accurate enough to estimate the number of ...

A team of scientists have discovered that two air quality monitoring stations in the U.K. also collected DNA samples that could benefit biodiversity monitoring. Scientists analyzed DNA samples trapped ...

This project will develop cost-effective and efficient means of assessing baselines and monitoring changes in deep-sea biodiversity by filling critical gaps in DNA barcode and specimen image databases ...

Mosquitoes carry DNA from dozens of animals, creating tiny “libraries” of wildlife. Researchers show these insects could ...

Data collected by citizen science initiatives, museums and national parks is an important basis for research on biodiversity change. However, scientists found that sampling sites are oftentimes not ...
