The diversity indices (d, H', J') of lichens have a less close linear relationship with the AQI_SO2 index as shown by the low correlation coefficient. This result shows that lichen biodiversity indices may have a nonlinear relationship with the AQI_SO2 index. These data are considered the scientific basis of research on using lichens as biological indicators of the air environment, specifically indicators of SO2 content in the air in some provinces/cities in Northern of Vietnam.

The studies involving water bugs (Hemiptera) biodiversity and ecology are very few and have mainly focused on taxonomy. We conducted research and evaluation of diversity indexes of water bugs (Hemiptera) in different landscapes including forest habitats, agricultural lands, ponds, streams from 16 sampling sites in Bac Kan, Lao Cai, Ninh Binh and Ha Tinh provinces. As a result, a total of 43 species of 23 genera of 10 families were recorded.

Ebook "Biology of skates" aims and goals of the symposium were to bring together an international group of researchers to meet, discuss, perhaps develop collaborations, and present their most recent findings. Skates have become a concern in recent years due to the preponderance of these elasmobranchs to be landed as part of a directed fishery or indirectly as bycatch.

Thuong Tien Nature reserve has high level of biodiversity. However, insect is one of the least study groups compared to other groups of animals in the reserve. In this study ant specimens were collected by using linetransect and point methods in Thuong Tien Nature reserve. Consequently, the researchers has initially identified 34 species of ants in 04 subfamilies (Dolichoderinae, Formicinae, Myrmicinae, and Ponerinae), and 23 genus. Of the 34 species, there are 10 ones that has been only determined for genus.

Ebook "Biodiversity in the marine environment" aims to explain why marine biodiversity research holds highly strategic interest for society and the scientific community. The oceans cover over 70% of our planet. They are host to a biodiversity of tremendous wealth. Its preservation is now a global priority featuring in several international conventions and a confirmed objective of European policies and national strategies.

Ebook "Designing low carbon societies in landscapes (Ecological research monographs series)" focuses on three major means of achieving a low carbon society: conservation of the ecosystem complex, changes of arrangement of landscapes, and creation of biodiversity. There are specific countermeasures to be taken for carbon absorption in the three types of landscapes urban, cultural, and natural because their carbon balances differ. Urban landscapes are promising sites because they have the potential for greening and the creation of biodiversity.

Ebook "Plant disease epidemiology: Facing challenges of the 21st Century" provides an overview of some of the latest research in plant disease epidemiology from researchers at the cutting edge of this important discipline. Plant disease epidemiologists have a strong scientific tradition in studying climate-pathogen-disease relationships. Biodiversity is also of global concern. The decline of global biodiversity that is currently taking place has been referred to as the sixth great extinction process our planet has experienced during its history, but this time, it is man-made.
