Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity! 🐝🌍 Mountains are key to biodiversity and are home to more than 85% of the world’s amphibian, bird, & mammal species. loom.ly/YbTvNVM Rob Marchant #OurChangingMountains #Biodiversity

Today we release version 3 of GIFT which is accessible via a brand-new R-package. Get regional plant checklists and traits from floras for more than 3400 regions worldwide. Preprint describing the new GIFT version and R package: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… BioGeo Göttingen Holger Kreft
