Abstract:
Knowledge of shortfalls could modify the geographic distribution patterns and limit the actions to conserve the biodiversity, even in the taxa best known. In addition, forest fires also could modify those patterns, but the potential effects of both factors have not been tested. Our aim was to analyze the effect of the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls in the first evaluation of wildfire impacts on 22 amphibian and 13 mammal species distributed in Guanajuato, Mexico. We evaluated those shortfalls using the non-parametric estimator Chao2 and the Qs estimator and through maps of species richness p

Abstract:
In a recent study, Hortal et al. (2015) recognized seven shortfalls of knowledge that hamper our understanding of biodiversity. Three of these are of particular importance for drawing conservation strategies for ecological indicator species, among which we can count the amphibians (Simon et al. 2011): the Linnean shortfall describes ‘the knowledge incongruity between the described species and the remaining species yet to be described’ (Brown & Lomolino 1998); the Wallacean shortfall defines ‘paucity of knowledge about the actual distribution range of the species’ (Lomolino 2004); and the D

Abstract:
Antarctica harbors many distinctive features of life, yet much about the diversity and functioning of Antarctica’s life remains unknown. Evolutionary histories and functional ecology are well understood only for vertebrates, whereas research on invertebrates is largely limited to species descriptions and some studies on environmental tolerances. Knowledge on Antarctic vegetation cover showcases the challenges of characterizing population trends for most groups. Recent community-level microbial studies have provided insights into the functioning of life at its limits. Overall, biotic interactio

Abstract:
A paucity of knowledge regarding species distribution is one of the main shortfalls in large-scale biodiversity studies. This shortfall results in distribution maps of species that largely reflect sampling effort. Ground beetles (Carabidae) and tiger beetles (Cicindelidae) are among the most diverse and conspicuous families within the Order Coleoptera. However, no previous studies of these families have been published for El Salvador. Based on a literature revision, field work, and several entomological collections, the present article aims to describe the current state of knowledge of Carabid

Abstract:
Our knowledge of global biodiversity remains incomplete and beset by knowledge shortfalls affecting both the census of species (i.e. the Linnean shortfall) and our understanding of their distributions (i.e. the Wallacean shortfall; Hortal et al. 2015). While alarming rates of species extinction have been reported in most groups of organisms, our capacity to assess extinction threats is limited by these shortfalls and it has become imperative to optimize our use of existing information for the analyses of biodiversity data. There are two major challenges when integrating biodiversity data from

Abstract:
A plot of the number of parks and other terrestrial protected areas established around the world over the past 100 years exhibits near-exponential growth, with marine parks following a similar trend. This is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of sustaining natural systems worldwide. Yet, at the same time an expanding human population and the desire of all people for a more prosperous life have resulted in unprecedented rates of deforestation and habitat conversion. Accompanying these changes has been the spread of invasive, non-native species (including new disease organi
