TL;DR: A terrestrial assemblage database of unprecedented geographic and taxonomic coverage is analysed to quantify local biodiversity responses to land use and related changes and shows that in the worst-affected habitats, pressures reduce within-sample species richness by an average of 76.5%, total abundance by 39.5% and rarefaction-based richness by 40.3%.

TL;DR: It is shown that the higher taxonomic classification of species follows a consistent and predictable pattern from which the total number of species in a taxonomic group can be estimated, and when applied to all domains of life, it predicts ∼8.7 million eukaryotic species globally.

Inferring the mammal tree: Species-level sets of phylogenies for questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation
TL;DR: Credible sets of mammalian phylogenetic history are developed, enabling investigations of long-standing questions in comparative biology, and finding that node ages are broadly concordant among studies, and recent rates of speciation are estimated more accurately in this study than in previous "supertree" approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical diversity of ginseng saponins from Panax ginseng
TL;DR: This work summarizes available information about 112 saponins related to P. ginseng, finding that >80 of them are isolated from raw or processed gINSeng, and the others are acid/base hydrolysates, semisynthetic saponin, or metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI
SILVA, RDP, Greengenes, NCBI and OTT - how do these taxonomies compare?
TL;DR: This work provides a method and software for mapping taxonomic entities from one taxonomy onto another and finds that SILVA, RDP and Greengenes map well into NCBI, and all four maps well into the Open Tree of life Taxonomy.
