Advancing Biodiversity Research: Highlights from the bioGENESIS Annual Report

The annual report from bioGENESIS illustrates significant advancements in biodiversity research. Highlights include the leadership of Dan Faith and Tet Yahara in the bioGENESIS symposium at the ATBC conference, featuring a plenary lecture on reconnecting ecology and evolution. Key activities encompassed discussions at the Applied Evolution Summit and the ESA meeting, focusing on phylogenetic beta diversity. Additional training workshops and pilot studies in Cambodian plots showcased efforts in assessing functional and phylogenetic diversity. These initiatives aim to enhance conservation strategies and understanding of biodiversity loss.

  1. bioGENESIS highlighted points from the annual report Dan Faith, Tet Yahara

  2. Overview of activities • Lohmann, Hendry lead bioGENESIS symposium at the annual conference of the Association of Tropical Biodiversity Conservation (ATBC) and Donoghue plenary lecture “Reconnecting ecology and evolution to cope with global change” • A. Hendry participated in Applied Evolution Summit, Aus. • “From microbial to conservation biology: exploring phylogenetic beta diversity as a theoretical tool uniting disciplines”, at 95th ESA meeting, Pittsburgh (Faith+) • 3-days training workshop on "Phylogenetics and population genetics“ (Crandall+) • Tet Yahara various meetings and workshops in Japan • Numerous other talks and workshops – see report • See report for list of papers, including those in COSUST.

  3. An example of AP-BON activities linked with bioGENESIS Pilot study in Cambodian plots Networking Asian forest plots Many 1 ha plots SD/PD/FD assessments Determine DNA sequences for all tree species Time-series records of loss FD (Functional trait diversity) PD (Phylogenetic diversity) SD(Species diversity) Legumes Species lost Global legume assessments

  4. I phylogeny and functional diversity track loss in functional diversity, look at resilience, do trade-offs

  5. Understanding processes, to measure biodiversity - Can value-add to sampled red list index Genetic diversity proportional to range(log(range)) Can value add to 2 Can value add to

  6. Using the biodiversity measures to look at decision-making processes in the human-environment system

  7. Extra slides

  8. Loss of the world’s corals GBIF, OBIS, and other distribution data suggest that if we could conserve corals, even in just one well-targeted part of the coral triangle, we could avoid worst case of PD losses Entire clades (existing families and genera) fall into IUCN threatened classes Apply phylogenetic risk analysis to a “supertree” for corals Faith et al. 2010

  9. House dust communities
