We are an international group of biodiversity scientists collaborating to understand how biodiversity has changed, and to develop approaches to better monitor biodiversity to understand patterns and processes of change in the 21st century.

Collaborators

This working group is the result of many multiple meetings scheduled October 2014 - February 2016. Not all participants have been at each official meeting, but continued work and discussions among group members has been critical to the projects. Meetings have been funded via sDiv (* indicates PI) and the Canadian Institute for Ecology and Evolution (+ indicates PI).
