What would those in the know like others understand about biodiversity?
Planeta.com is a biodiversity-content-rich website highlighting the diverse natural world as well as our cultural connections and obligations. Check out our coverage of the Biodiversity Heritage Library, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the IUCN and other initiatives and institutions. This website is dedicated to efforts around the globe of valuing nature – local, regional, and global. As we engage in digital cyberhousekeeping, we ask ‘what would those in the know like others to understand about biodiversity? Presenting relevant links in a somewhat random fashion:

Keystone species = A species that has a disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its biomass. Such species affect many other organisms in an ecosystem and help to determine the types and numbers of various other species in a community. Such an organism plays a role in its ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone is under the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch, the arch still collapses without it. – Wikipedia
