Your Opinion About Challenges and Solutions for Sustainable Pest Management
A consortium of fourteen international and interdisciplinary researchers lead by Niklas Möhring (CEBC-CNRS, France) and Robert Finger (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) is aiming to identify key challenges and solutions for sustainable pest management in the heterogeneous global agriculture. We would be very grateful if you would answer the survey.

Creation of Single a Global List of Species

The Global Species List Working Group, under the auspices of IUBS, is investigating the potential creation of a single global list of species.

We invite you to participate in a survey by May 17, 2022.

With your help, we can advance the field of taxonomy and provide users of taxonomic information what they need to make informed decisions.
