COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT SEA CUCUMBERS OF THE WORLD
It is not easy to predict how animals—from insects to fish—are going to respond to climate change and especially extremes of temperature. This lack of understanding hinders our ability to predict the vulnerability of these animals to climate change.
In June 2018, 180 cars fanned out across Denmark and parts of Germany on a grand insect hunt.
Marine Species Biodiversity - AquaMaps
AquaMaps are computer-generated predictions of natural occurrence of marine species, based on the environmental tolerance of a given species with respect to depth, salinity, temperature, primary productivity, and its association with sea ice or coastal areas. These 'environmental envelopes' are matched against an authority file which contains respective information for the Oceans of the World. Independent knowledge such as distribution by FAO areas or bounding boxes are used to avoid mapping species in areas that contain suitable habitat, but are not occupied by the species.
A study published today in Nature Communications finds the scale of that online reptile trade is larger than previously thought, and that many reptile species are traded without protections from international regulations...To expand protection for
