RESEARCH PAPER 🔬

„Our data indicates the presence of spatial #genetic differentiation in almost all #species, which supports the spatially segregated management of #intraspecific genetic entities.“
- Durka et al. (2025)

RESEARCH PAPER 🔬

„We assume that people tend to observe and report #species in their immediate #environment, so there should be a #taxonomic bias towards #synanthropic species on #citizen science platforms.“
- Pernat et al. (2025)
