The American Journal of Botany has published a Biodiversity Special Issue that looks at taxonomy and systematics, evolutionary biology and biogeography, ecology, and conservation/restoration.

This issue consists of a number of invited papers that show how the study of biodiversity is fundamental to our understanding of life on Earth and to confronting some of the problems caused by humans. The Gonzalez Lab made two contributions to this issue.
