Unusual migratory strategy a key factor driving interactions at wind energy facilities in at-risk bats

The paper reveals a unique migratory strategy in bats that correlates with increased wind turbine fatalities, highlighting migratory distance as a key factor in interactions with wind energy facilities.

Rising minimum temperatures contribute to 50 years of shifting Arctic and boreal butterfly communities in North America

The paper analyzes 50 years of butterfly population trends in response to rising minimum temperatures in North America, finding cold-adapted species are declining more than warm-adapted ones.

A community-developed extension to Darwin Core for reporting the chronometric age of specimens

The paper introduces a new Darwin Core extension to standardize reporting of specimen ages from deep time and the evidence supporting these estimates.

Closing Gaps But Increasing Bias In North American Butterfly Inventory Completeness

The paper assesses inventory completeness of North American butterflies using museum and community science data, finding increased completeness but heightened spatio-taxonomic biases.

Research applications of primary biodiversity databases in the digital age

This study analyzes the use of biodiversity databases since 2010, finding common applications and highlighting gaps in data quality and integration.

Finding the signal in the noise of Citizen Science Observations

The paper evaluates how citizen science projects can improve biodiversity monitoring by collecting contextual information to reduce noise and enhance signal accuracy, using eBird as a case study.

No general relationship between mass and temperature in endothermic species

The paper analyzes the relationship between temperature and body mass in 952 bird and mammal species, finding that temperature explains little variation in mass for most species.
