Demand for models in biodiversity assessments is rising, but which models are adequate for
the task? We propose a set of best-practice standards and detailed guidelines enabling …

Reporting specific modelling methods and metadata is essential to the reproducibility of
ecological studies, yet guidelines rarely exist regarding what information should be noted …

Spatial patterns of biodiversity are inextricably linked to their collection methods, yet no
synthesis of bias patterns or their consequences exists. As such, views of organismal …

This software note announces a new open‐source release of the Maxent software for

Background Snakebite envenoming is a frequently overlooked cause of mortality and
morbidity. Data for snake ecology and existing snakebite interventions are scarce, limiting …

The ever-increasing human footprint even in very remote places on Earth has inspired
efforts to document biodiversity vigorously in case organisms go extinct. However, the data …

Ecology has joined a world of big data. Two complementary frameworks define big data:
data that exceed the analytical capacities of individuals or disciplines or the “Four Vs” axes …

Plants are a hyperdiverse clade that plays a key role in maintaining ecological and
evolutionary processes as well as human livelihoods. Biases, gaps and uncertainties in …
