have led to the adoption of systematic conservation planning in many regions of the world …

We investigated three procedures that may lead to rapid and accurate assessment of
epigaeic arthropod biodiversity. They are:(1) the identification of taxa whose diversity is …

Biodiversity priority areas together should represent the biodiversity of the region they are
situated in. To achieve this, biodiversity has to be measured, biodiversity goals have to be …
