A global database for metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space (2020)
Journal Article
Jeliazkov, A., Mijatovic, D., Chantepie, S., Andrew, N., Arlettaz, R., Meyer, C., & et, A. (2020). A global database for metacommunity ecology, integrating species, traits, environment and space. Scientific Data, 7(1), 6. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-019-0344-7

The use of functional information in the form of species traits plays an important role in explaining biodiversity patterns and responses to environmental changes. Although relationships between species composition, their traits, and the environment...

BIM-based operational information requirements for asset owners (2020)
Journal Article
Munir, M., Kiviniemi, A., Jones, S., & Finnegan, S. (2020). BIM-based operational information requirements for asset owners. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 16(2), 100-114. https://doi.org/10.1080/17452007.2019.1706439

It is widely recognised in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry that asset owners do not really understand their information needs for effective BIM-based Asset Management (AM). Hence, they may be unable to develop their oper... Read More about BIM-based operational information requirements for asset owners.

On the taxonomic history and true identity of the collared titi, cheracebus torquatus (Hoffmannsegg, 1807) (Platyrrhini, Callicebinae) (2020)
Journal Article
Byrne, H., Rylands, A., Nash, S., & Boubli, J. (2020). On the taxonomic history and true identity of the collared titi, cheracebus torquatus (Hoffmannsegg, 1807) (Platyrrhini, Callicebinae). Primate conservation, 34, 13-52

The collared titi, Cheracebus torquatus, is paradoxically the least well-defined of the so-called “torquatus group” of Neotropical titi monkeys. Since its description by Hoffmannsegg in 1807, it has been re-characterized numerous times. In this stu...
