TL;DR: This work compared 16 modelling methods over 226 species from 6 regions of the world, creating the most comprehensive set of model comparisons to date and found that presence-only data were effective for modelling species' distributions for many species and regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining ‘Evolutionarily Significant Units’ for conservation
TL;DR: With the explicit recognition of the genetic component of biodiversity in conservation legislation of many countries and in the Convention on Biological Diversity, the ESU concept is set to become increasingly significant for conservation of natural as well as captive populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of animal mitochondrial dna: relevance for population biology and systematics
TL;DR: This work focuses on molecular aspects of animal mtDNA that are especially relevant to its use in evolutionary studies, and considers the form and frequency of three types of change in mtDNA: base substitution, length variation, and sequence rearrangement.
Journal ArticleDOI
New developments in museum-based informatics and applications in biodiversity analysis
Catherine H. Graham,Catherine H. Graham,Simon Ferrier,Falk Huettman,Craig Moritz,A. Townsend Peterson +5 more
TL;DR: Information from natural history collections about the diversity, taxonomy and historical distributions of species worldwide is becoming increasingly available over the Internet, and its utility and limitations are critically reviewed.
