We evaluate each research program's relative emphasis on three principal elements of biodiversity organization: composition, structure, and function.
Evaluating research needs and possible approaches across specific elements of biodiversity organization can facilitate planning of future studies and lead to more effective communication between scientists, managers, and stakeholders.
If biodiversity organizations joined forces with advocates for linguistic and cultural self-determination, there would be a double payoff.
Now, the Rana (Spanish for frog) Terribilis Amphibian Reserve has opened for business in Colombia, thanks to the good offices of several biodiversity organizations.

Angelini, C., Altieri, A. H., Silliman, B. R. & Bertness, M. D. Interactions among foundation species and their consequences for community organization, biodiversity, and conservation.
The professional activities of the Working Group currently includes networking and consultations on conservation biology and biodiversity with religious organizations with environmental missions and networking and consultations with Society for Conservation Biology members concerning religious organizations with environmental missions.
To design robust protected area networks, accurately measure species losses, or understand the processes that maintain species diversity, conservation science must consider the organization of biodiversity in space.
However, a comprehensive theory of the spatial organization of biodiversity linking observed patterns to the processes generating them is still lacking and requires the development of new models able to realistically represent heterogeneous competitive strategies.
To assess the risks faced by wild coffees, Dr. Davis and his colleagues applied a barometer developed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, an international organization that assesses biodiversity risks.
In Africa, the African Centre for Biodiversity, a research and advocacy organization, has urged the Tanzanian government to phase out subsidies for chemical fertilizers and speed a transition to agroecology through support to small farmers.
