Colossal and the US Fish and Wildlife Service will sequence the genomes of all endangered species in the US, storing biological samples in Colossal's BioVault and making genomic data openly accessible to aid conservation efforts.
A new study has produced the first global map of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi networks, revealing their vast extent—110 quadrillion kilometers—and highlighting threats from agriculture. The findings underscore the importance of these fungi for climate regulation and soil health.
This preprint describes a cross-domain dataset of 410,499 tropical species with Chinese vernacular names and CITES source links, integrating multiple biodiversity infrastructures to support applied trade and husbandry contexts.
This paper proposes a knowledge-adaptive edge expert agent architecture for ecological monitoring, separating visual perception from reasoning to reduce reliance on cloud resources and enable sustainable on-device AI in remote deployments.
BAGEL is a new benchmark for evaluating animal-related knowledge in large language models, constructed from diverse scientific sources and covering taxonomy, morphology, habitat, behavior, and species interactions through closed-book question-answer pairs. The benchmark enables fine-grained analysis across taxonomic groups and knowledge categories, providing insights into model strengths and failure modes for biodiversity applications.
