Using butterfly survey data to model habitat associations in urban developments

Using butterfly survey data to model habitat associations in urban developments | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
This study used data from 160 urban sites in England, collected by volunteers taking part in the Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey, in which BTO is a partner. Butterflies were chosen as the species group to investigate because they can be sensitive to small changes in habitat, are commonly seen in urban settings, and can reflect the responses of other insects.

Guidelines for Accessing and Using Biodiversity Data | Thames Valley Environmental Resouce Centre

CIEEM, in partnership with a range of other stakeholder organisations, published new Guidelines for Accessing and Using Biodiversity data. This new document is intended to help members, and their clients, planners and other interested parties, to understand the what, why and how of using biodiversity data effectively. It has been written by Lisa Kerslake CEcol FCIEEM (Swift Ecology) and Tom Hunt (ALERC) with input from organisations such as the NBN Trust, BTO and the National Forum for Biological Recording.

Pourquoi le monde sonore des mares ressemble-t-il à une "discothèque aquatique" ?

Pourquoi le monde sonore des mares ressemble-t-il à une "discothèque aquatique" ? | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

A l'aide de micros, des scientifiques enregistrent les sons des écosystèmes naturels. Après les océans et les forêts, une équipe de l'université de Bristol (Royaume-Uni) a dévoilé le monde sonore mystérieux... des mares de la campagne anglaise. Un "orchestre" étonnant.
