Australian and state governments have the conservation of biodiversity firmly embedded in their policies, the major instrument being the Australian Government's EPBC Act (1999, under revision).
Montane Mediterranean cities have been understudied in terms of biodiversity, although they are often embedded in biodiversity hotspots.
All staphylinid beetles were deposited in the Coleoptera collection at the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK) (see supplementary material: Table S2), where they are available for more detailed taxonomic revision, which is desirable as ultimately a taxonomic identification should be embedded in biodiversity studies.
For a tropical landscape, using mark-recapture techniques, Marin and colleagues demonstrated that combined elements from traditional management, such as Acacia woodlots and live fences, have allowed the conservation of a rich butterfly biodiversity in forest fragments embedded in pasture in southern Mexico.
We need to be able to integrate different facets of past and present environmental and biodiversity observations and embed them in models with predictive power [ 3].
The Linnaean system of classification is how most of us learned about biodiversity, and it remains deeply embedded in biology textbooks today.
Conservation science has a key role to play in safeguarding the future of tropical forest biodiversity, but needs to become more effectively embedded in the context of real-world conservation challenges and opportunities.
Although the southeastern United States has >12 million ha of intensively managed pine forest, we have a poor understanding of how aquatic systems embedded in managed landscapes contribute to biodiversity.
Biodiversity conservation in the region is becoming increasingly embedded within a more multi-functional view of agriculture-forest mosaics that attempts to recognise and value the range of services provided by tree cover and other land-uses.
As small aquatic features embedded in a terrestrial landscape, temporary wetlands enhance biodiversity and provide aesthetic, biogeochemical, and hydrologic functions.
