Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas
SPE EA Pôle BIOME The Atlas is divided in 8 chapters covering all the aspects of soil biodiversity: - Chapter I: The soil habitat - Chapter II: Diversity of soil organisms - Chapter III: Geographical and temporal distribution - Chapter IV: Ecosystem functions and services - Chapter V: Threats - Chapter VI: Interventions - Chapter VII: Policy, education and outreach - Chapter VIII: Conclusions Soil biodiversity experts from all over the world are involved in the project aiming at the creation of a reference publication not only for soil biodiversity researchers but also policy makers and general public.; International audience; The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI) and the Joint Res…
The Oz Mammals Genomics initiative: developing genomic resources for mammal conservation at a continental scale
The Australo-Papuan region has a unique mammal fauna, which faces unique threats and poses important evolutionary and ecological questions. Genomics has great potential to advance our understanding of the region's mammals and their conservation. The Oz Mammals Genomics Initiative brings together museum collections, researchers, data specialists and wildlife management agencies to comprehensively tackle rodent, bat and marsupial genomics at a continental scale. There are few published whole genomes for Australian marsupials. We are developing well-assembled genomes from a broadly representative range of marsupial taxa, to facilitate new insights into evolution and to provide reference d…
