    Description: This paper presents a use-case conducted within the ENVRI FAIR project, examining challenges and opportunities in deploying FAIR-aligned (ensuring Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability) scientific name-matching services across Environmental Research Infrastructures (RIs). Six services were tested using various name variations, revealing inconsistencies in match types, status reporting and handling of canonical forms and typos. These diversities pose challenges for RI data pipelines and interoperability. The paper underscores the importance of standardised tools, enhanced communication, training, collaboration and shared resources. Addressing these needs can facilitate more effective FAIR implementation within the ENVRI community and biodiversity research. This, in turn, will empower RIs to seamlessly integrate and leverage scientific names, unlocking the full potential of their data for research and policy implementation.

    DiSSCo Transition Abridged Grant Proposal (2024)
    Pensoft Publishers
    In:  Research Ideas and Outcomes vol. 10 no. e118241
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-01
    Description: The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a pan-European Research \nInfrastructure (RI) initiative. DiSSCo aims to bring together natural science collections from \n175 museums, botanical gardens, universities and research institutes across 23 countries \nin a distributed infrastructure that makes these collections physically and digitally open and \naccessible for all forms of research and innovation. DiSSCo RI entered the ESFRI \nroadmap in 2018 and successfully concluded its Preparatory Phase in early 2023. The RI \nis now transitioning towards the constitution of its legal entity (an ERIC) and the start of its \nscaled-up construction (implementation) programme. This publication is an abridged \nversion of the successful grant proposal for the DiSSCo Transition Project which has the \ngoal of ensuring the seamless transition of the DiSSCo RI from its Preparatory Phase to \nthe Construction Phase (expected to start in 2025). In this transition period, the Project will \naddress five objectives building on the outcomes of the Preparatory Phase project: \n1) Advance the DiSSCo ERIC process and complete its policy framework, ensuring the \nsmooth early-phase Implementation of DISSCo; \n2) Engage & support DiSSCo National Nodes to strengthen national commitments; \n3) Advance the development of core e-services to avoid the accumulation of technical debt \nbefore the start of the Implementation Phase; \n4) Continue international collaboration on standards & best practices needed for the \nDiSSCo service provision; and \n5) Continue supporting DiSSCo RI interim governance bodies and transition them to the \nDiSSCo ERIC formal governance. \nThe Project\xe2\x80\x99s impact will be measured against the increase in the RI\'s overall \nImplementation Readiness Level (IRL). More specifically, we will monitor its impact towards \nreaching the required level of maturity in four of the five dimensions of the IRL that can \nbenefit from further developments. These include the organisational, financial, \ntechnological and data readiness levels.

    Plankton community changes during the last 124 000 years in the subarctic Bering Sea derived from sedimentary ancient DNA (2024)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Current global warming results in rising sea-water temperatures, and the loss of sea ice in arctic and subarctic oceans impacts the community composition of primary producers with cascading effects on the food web and potentially on carbon export rates. This study analyzes metagenomic shotgun and diatom rbcL amplicon-sequencing data from sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) of the subarctic western Bering Sea that records phyto- and zooplankton community changes over the last glacial–interglacial cycle, including the last interglacial period (Eemian). Our data show that interglacial and glacial plankton communities differ, with distinct Eemian and Holocene plankton communities. The generally warm Holocene period is dominated by pico-sized cyanobacteria and bacteria-feeding heterotrophic protists, while the Eemian period is dominated by eukaryotic pico-sized chlorophytes and Triparmaceae. In contrast, the glacial period is characterized by micro-sized phototrophic protists, including sea-ice associated diatoms in the family Bacillariaceae and co-occurring diatom-feeding crustaceous zooplankton. Our deep-time record of plankton community changes reveals a long-term decrease in phytoplankton cell size coeval with increasing temperatures, and resembling community changes in the currently warming Bering Sea. The phytoplankton community in the warmer-than-present Eemian period is distinct from modern communities and limits the use of the Eemian as an analog for future climate scenarios. However, under enhanced future warming, the expected shift towards the dominance of small-sized phytoplankton and heterotrophic protists might result in an increased productivity, whereas the community’s potential of carbon export will be decreased, thereby weakening the subarctic Bering Sea’s function as an effective carbon sink.
