TL;DR: Garnett and Christidis as mentioned in this paper argued that the lack of governance of taxonomy damages conservation efforts, harms the credibility of science, and is costly to society, and pointed out that the scientific community's failure to govern taxonomy threatens the effectiveness of global efforts to halt biodiversity loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the extended depth of focus algorithms for bright field microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use three different tests for extended depth of focus algorithm evaluation and test 10 different algorithms, some of which have been adapted (by us) for a series of optical slices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impediments to taxonomy and users of taxonomy: accessibility and impact evaluation
TL;DR: In order to resolve both types of impediment, taxonomy needs to be revitalized through funding and training taxonomists, as well as investing in taxonomic revisions and monographs rather than technological surrogates such as DNA barcoding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an optimal sampling strategy to assess groundwater biodiversity: comparison across six European regions
Marie-José Dole-Olivier,F. Castellarini,N. Coineau,Diana M. P. Galassi,Patrick Martin,Nataša Mori,Antonio G. Valdecasas,Janine Gibert +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sampling protocol aimed at capturing the main sources of environmental heterogeneity within regions was applied in six regions across Europe, and rarefaction curves were calculated to determine sampling efficiencies within each region.
