Identification crisis: a fauna-wide estimate of biodiversity expertise shows massive decline in a Central European country Open
Expertise in biodiversity research (taxonomy, faunistics, conservation with taxonomic background) appears to decline worldwide. While the “taxonomic impediment” is discussed extensively in the literature, much fewer papers focus on the ide…
