OUT NOW: Version4.0 of our Database of Global Data Sources for Biodiversity Conservation Monitoring, with 202 sources of data of potential use in #species #monitoring. Thanks to @EtoileNath #AngelaRuizdePaz @carriejstengel @rewild @SNISGeneva @IUCNssc

Short note out in Oryx highlighting lessons from the latest update of our #database of #biodiversity data sources. But is the continued proliferation of data sources adding to confusion rather than improving #conservation #monitoring? Find out more here: doi.org/doi:10.1017/S0…

Fantastic turn out and engagement with our ##IUCNCONGRESS session on Friday on #biodiversity #monitoring @IUCNssc

OUT NOW: Version4.0 of our Database of Global Data Sources for Biodiversity Conservation Monitoring, with 202 sources of data of potential use in #species #monitoring. Thanks to @EtoileNath #AngelaRuizdePaz @carriejstengel @rewild @SNISGeneva @IUCNssc for their help.

Out now: new guidance from @RamsarConv to improve data flow for national #wetland inventories & enhance wetland conservation. Authored by our chair @PJ_Stephenson with #IrynaDronova #DanFriess #MaxFinlayson & #FloreLafayedeMicheaux #biodiversity #survey #monitoring #WetlandsCOP15

We’re pleased to share a new guidance note entitled: Opportunities and Challenges for Monitoring Ecosystem Restoration in Protected and Conserved Areas, a collaboration with the @IUCN WCPA Restoration Task Force iucn.org/resources/othe… #species #monitoring #protectedareas #tools

This study led by our member #PauloBorges identifies the ideal seasons for assessing forest health in the Azores using an arthropod-based index: winter is best for pristine sites while summer optimizes detection of invasive species doi.org/10.3390/d15121…

Species360 is thrilled to announce that key species population data from the Zoological Information Management System (#ZIMS) has been added to the @IUCNRedList 🧵

New component for the LIFE SNAILS project: a database from long-term SLAM trap #monitoring. Focused on arthropods, it’s a proxy for habitat quality, aiding conservation of 3 endangered molluscs endemic to Santa Maria Island, #Azores. #Biodiversity doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12…

How do we monitor biodiversity at scale for biocredits? This paper describes a proposed toolkit to use of eDNA, passive acoustics, and remote sensing to deliver scalable and verifiable solutions. #Biodiversity #monitoring #Biocredits doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Soundscapes can reveal #biodiversity! 🎵🌱 This study shows ecoacoustic indices correlate with vertebrate diversity, offering a cost-effective #monitoring tool. #Ecoacoustics #Conservation sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Parasites as #indicators of #biodiversity in coastal ecosystems. High parasite diversity in easily collected hosts (snails) demonstrates that secondary (eg polychaetes) & tertiary (eg fish) hosts are present and therefore act as surrogate indicators doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4…
