Researchers propose a practical tool for evaluating seagrass health in the Gulf of Mexico, which would establish a foundation for assessing trends across the gulf.
Explore the transformative journey of the Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme (CBMP) over the past two decades, uncovering lessons learned, global impact, and key prerequisites that position it as a model for biodiversity monitoring initiatives worldwide.
Scientists from the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv), Sapienza University of Rome, NatureServe, and other institutions developed a workflow to identify species currently listed as Data Deficient that now likely have sufficient data to be reassigned to a Red List category that reflects their extinction risk.
NatureServe botanist Amanda Eberly and Dr. Robert Naczi of New York Botanical Gardens published a new species of beak sedge, named Rhynchospora mesoatlantica and commonly referred to as the Mid-Atlantic Beaksedge in recognition of the region where all occurrences are found.
Researchers from iDiv and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, in collaboration with partners in the Tropical Andes, have unveiled a groundbreaking approach. They engaged over 400 local stakeholders in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador to co-design biodiversity indicators that genuinely matter to them.
NatureServe co-authored a commentary in Nature Ecology and Evolution on the need for a Global Biodiversity Observing System, reflecting our ongoing and previous contributions to the Group on Earth Observations - Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON).
In a newly published study, scientists identified 1,322 river segments that contain riverscour in Eastern Unglaciated North America. The authors defined riverscour as unique and diverse habitats found along rocky, stable river zones that resemble grasslands, wetlands, and floodplains.
In a newly published study, NatureServe teamed up with the Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre, New York Natural Heritage Program, and Carleton University to assess the conservation status of flower flies in Northeastern North America.
This study provides type information and synonymy for North American species of Trillium and notes on the distribution and character variation for some species. This classification will aid ongoing genetic analysis and potential future species descriptions, ensuring adherence to the fundamental rule of species naming.
