The biodiversity function of the desert steppe ecosystem faces many challenges under the pressure of climate change and human activities. Accurate and efficient assessment of plant diversity is critical for guiding desert steppe restoration efforts. ...
Assessing the escalating biodiversity crisis, driven by climate change, habitat destruction, and exploitation, necessitates efficient monitoring strategies to assess species presence and abundance across diverse habitats. Video-based surveys using re...
Studying the biodiversity and multifunctionality relationships of the Hobq Desert shrub ecosystem and its response to environmental factors is crucial for ecological restoration in the region. In this study, we examined variations in biodiversity and...
Deep learning models can accelerate the processing of image-based biodiversity data and provide educational value by giving direct feedback to citizen scientists. However, the training of such models requires large amounts of labelled data and not al...

Evaluating species' roles in food webs is critical for advancing ecological theories on competition, coexistence, and biodiversity but is complicated by pronounced dietary variability within species and overlap across species. We combined dietary DNA...
Climate change has emerged as a significant driver of biodiversity loss, with profound implications for species distribution. This study assessed the current and future distribution of Tecomella undulata (Desert teak), an economically and medicinally...
This article attempts to show that current trends in bio-inspired robotics research are incompatible with the transformations needed to address the current ecological crisis. A large part of the scientific community takes refuge behind short-term cha...
Habitat reduction is significantly threatening biodiversity, making ecological connectivity which facilitates species movement across habitat patches, essential for human impacts mitigation, promoting genetic exchange, and enabling colonization of ne...

Monitoring the species-specific sounds produced by insects could provide us with a rapid, reliable, non-invasive measure of tropical ecosystem health and biodiversity. Although acoustic biodiversity monitoring has made rapid progress over the past de...
Forecasting systems for harmful algal blooms (HABs) are becoming more common, as HAB monitoring is increasingly networked and aggregated at national and global scales. Ocean forecasting programs in other fields have had unintended consequences and ou...
