Passive acoustic monitoring is opening up new opportunities for biodiversity monitoring, but there is still work to do to ensure that it represents a reliable method for biodiversity reporting.
Coral reefs are inextricably linked to their surrounding seascape, ecologically shaped by ocean circulation patterns and dependent on upwelled nutrients and planktonic subsidies. To better predict coral reef futures, we must more effectively quantify and incorporate these fundamental biophysical interactions.
Self-identified gender information on authors and reviewers across the Nature Portfolio allows us to report on current trends at Nature Ecology & Evolution.
Changes in seed banking practices and business incentives are needed to ensure restoration practitioners have access to plentiful and reliable supplies of diverse native seeds.
Growing evidence suggests that timescales for plastic degradation have been vastly underestimated. The fossil record of plastic-like biopolymers might provide a perspective on plastic fossilization in deep time.
The effective conservation of soil biodiversity and ecosystem services in the face of global-change threats requires improvements in national monitoring. We outline the Global Soil Biodiversity Observatory, an initiative that aims to develop standardized indicators and enhance national monitoring capacities to support evidence-based policymaking and facilitate global assessments.
Henry Walter Bates gave the first known scientific account of mimicry in biological systems. To mark the bicentenary of his birth, we present a collection of content that reflects on his life and legacy.
