TL;DR: It is concluded that an ambitious goal to describe 10 million species in less than 50 years is attainable based on the strength of 250 years of progress, worldwide collections, existing experts, technological innovation and collaborative teamwork.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stoichiometry and the new biology: the future is now.
James J. Elser,Andrew Hamilton +1 more
TL;DR: There is a call for biological science to move away from the reductionist focus of the past, but there are large-scale integrative efforts already underway; biological stoichiometry provides one such example.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery Plan for the Endangered Taxonomy Profession
TL;DR: The worldwide decline in taxonomists has a broad impact on biology and society as mentioned in this paper, and the task of taxonomist recruitment and training should be to use cyberspace and a wide range of skills to recruit, train, and provide direction for expert amateurs, young students, parataxonomists, and the general public.
Journal ArticleDOI
What does it mean when climate models agree? A case for assessing independence among general circulation models.
TL;DR: This article addressed the issue of model independence in explaining why agreement between models should boost confidence that their results have basis in reality, and showed that model independence is crucial in explaining the importance of model agreement.
Book ChapterDOI
The Rise and Fall of Biotic Nativeness: A Historical Perspective
Matthew K. Chew,Andrew Hamilton +1 more
TL;DR: Bean et al. as discussed by the authors pointed out that recognition of a taxon as a native, especially if it has a restricted distribution or is known from only a few populations, may result in the expendi-ture of considerable resources to try and ensure the survival of populations.
