Abstract Parataxonomists are responsible for taxonomic identifications in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring programs. However, they may lack formal training, and thus, quantifying error rate identification is paramount evaluating data quality of larger biomonitoring efforts. In particular, parataxonomist could vary among regions with different species richness composition. Here, we tested whether rates ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) by parataxonomists increased greater throughout...
Species recovery following anthropogenic disturbances will depend on adaptations in survivorship and fecundity. Life-history theory predicts increased environmental stress result (1) shifts resource allocation from fecundity to body growth/maintenance (2) provisioning among offspring at the cost of reproductive output. For remnant populations that persist after forest harvesting, selection mediated through may affect resilience additional stressors such as climate change. We tested how rapid...
