Abstract A new assessment of the global biodiversity decapod Crustacea (to 31 December 2022) records 17,229 species in 2,550 genera and 203 families. These figures are derived from a well-curated dataset maintained on online platform DecaNet, subsidiary World Register Marine Species (WoRMS). Distinct phases recognised discovery process (as measured by descriptions) corresponding to major historical geopolitical time periods, with current rate descriptions being more than three times higher...

Abstract. The analysis of biological and ecological traits has a long history in evolutionary research. However, trait data are often scattered standardised terminology that transcends taxonomic biogeographical context generally missing. As part the development global database marine species, we collated information for European seaweeds structured within framework World Register Marine Species (WoRMS). We collected 45 175 records 21 biologically ecologically relevant seaweeds. This resulted...
