Here, we present an analysis of the growth and use of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) over the last 5 y. GBIF is the world's largest data integrator for biodiversity information and plays a central role in research across the biod...
Marine benthic habitats are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet their complexity and inaccessibility challenge effective mapping and management. This study presents the first high-resolution predictive benthic habitat maps at th...
Deforestation continues to pose a major threat to global ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate resilience, demanding intelligent and timely monitoring solutions. This study introduces a novel framework that integrates YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) obje...
Assessing species geographic distributions is critical to approximate their ecological niches, understand how global change may reshape their occurrence patterns, and predict their extinction risks. Yet, species records are over-aggregated across tax...
The Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB), supported by machine learning-based classifications, has revolutionized plankton research by automating plankton monitoring and considerably increasing sampling resolution. However, building a training set of labeled I...
India ranks ninth globally in freshwater fish diversity but lacks updated checklists and data-driven fish diversity and conservation assessments, which are essential for better informed decision-making on conservation and species discovery efforts. T...
Habitat monitoring has emerged as a crucial practice for preserving ecological environments and ensuring species reproduction. Traditional habitat modeling often relies on the "lasagna model"-a McHarg-style approach that focuses on the ecological nic...
The host-microbiome association is considered a coevolutionary process, in which the microbiome provides important functions for host development, physiology and health. However, the ecological and evolutionary forces shaping the diversity and struct...
Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serve as global repositories for diverse and dynamic microbial communities, reflecting the complex interplay of human activities, environmental conditions, and public health challenges. Despite their impo...
