Biowide projekt om biodiversitet

I samarbejde med de to store danske naturhistoriske museer og Københavns Universitet indleder Aarhus Universitet i 2014 et stort biodiversitetsprojekt: Biowide (Biodiversity in Width and Depth). Formålet er at skabe ny…

Forskere udpeger de vigtigste naturområder

Danmark har en målsætning om at standse tabet af biodiversitet. Derfor er det nødvendigt at udpege arealer, hvor naturen og biodiversiteten har førsteret, mens man på andre arealer, som benyttes til landbrug, skovbrug,…

Online Global Freshwater Biodiversity Atlas launched

A new online Atlas of freshwater biodiversity presenting spatial information and species distribution patterns is launched at the land-mark Water Lives symposium bringing together European Union policy makers and…

Storstilet naturprojekt søsættes

Hundredvis af danskere skal i de kommende år ud i naturens tjeneste for at indsamle data. I hver eneste kommune vil naturen således blive målt frem til 2020, og formålet med at sende de mange danskere i marken er at…

Forbedret adgang til viden om verdens arter

Webportalen www.gbif.org er blevet relanceret og giver nu en stærkt forbedret adgang til viden om verdens arter.

Special Issue of Science for Environment Policy on Invasive Alien Species

This special issue features a guest editorial by Dr Piero Genovesi, Chair of IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group and brings together the latest research on invasive species. Articles in this issue examine the…

NeoBiota article: Insights into invasion and restoration ecology: Time to collaborate towards a holistic approach to tackle biological invasions

The aim of this study is to provide an integrated framework for the management of alien plant invasions, combining insights and experiences from the fields of invasion and restoration ecology to enable more effective…

NeoBiota article: Does residence time affect responses of alien species richness to environmental and spatial processes?

One of the most robust emerging generalisations in invasion biology is that the probability of invasion increases with the time since introduction (residence time). We analysed the spatial distribution of alien vascular…

NeoBiota article: Support for major hypotheses in invasion biology is uneven and declining

Several major hypotheses have been proposed to explain and predict biological invasions, but the general applicability of these hypotheses is largely unknown, as most of them have not been evaluated using a standard…

NeoBiota article: A conceptual framework for prioritization of invasive alien species for management according to their impact

The number of invasive alien species is increasing and so are the impacts these species cause to the environment and economies. Nevertheless, resources for management are limited, which makes prioritization unavoidable.…
