Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The planned Special Issue will be focused on the modern concepts and strategies for the assessment, measurement, and management of the bioresources on our planet. The main goal is to avoid the overexploitation of resources, which may lead to an imbalance in the ecosystems. Recent technologies allow for the precise monitoring of the ecosystems and for gaining a big amount of data. Appropriate data processing algorithms and analysis may be crucial for the decision making processes in ecosystem management. Contributions concerning biodata acquisition, the methodology for the analysis of resources, computations in the field of biomanagement, spatial distribution models, new trends in taxonomy and systematics, citizen science, morphometrics, food resources, predator–prey interactions, human nutrition trends, diet spectrum, consumption physiology, comparative physiology, resource conservation, adaptation, and biogeography will be welcome in this Special Issue. All forms of contributions which are allowed in the Journal “Sustainability” will be accepted.
This Special Issue will contribute to the general knowledge on the planet’s bioresources and will play a role as a platform for gaining new data in the field. The up-to-date information concerning the characteristics of ecosystems, particular habitats, and particular species or even populations will contribute to the understanding of the ecological web of connections and will contribute to the improvement of conservation strategies and innovative ideas for sustainable development.
