This paper describes a computational tool developed to assess the risk of extinction of flora according to the " B " of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria System. The tool consists of a set of systems arranged in a microservices architecture and performs geospatial analysis in a significant set of data in an automated manner, with relativel...
The thesis investigates the application of concepts and techniques of data quality in taxonomic databases to enhance the quality of information services and systems in taxonomy. Taxonomic data are arranged and introduced in Taxonomic Data Domains in order to establish a standard and a working framework to support the proposed Taxonomic Data Quality...
The shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiver-sity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxo-nomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impedi...

The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in the world. Despite that, this
biome still includes many areas that are poorly known floristically, including several
protected areas, such as the "Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto" ("Flona do Rio Preto"),
located in the Brazilian State of Espírito Santo. This study used a published vascular...

Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge for improving conservation actions is to know the plant richness, protected by these areas. Online databases offer an accessible way to build plant species lists and to provide relevant informat...
It is time to synthesize the knowledge that has been generated through more than 260 years of botanical exploration, taxonomic and, more recently, phylogenetic research throughout the world. The adoption of an updated Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2011 provided the essential impetus for the development of the World Flora Online (...
The unprecedented size of the human population, along with its associated economic activities, has an ever‐increasing impact on global environments. Across the world, countries are concerned about the growing resource consumption and the capacity of ecosystems to provide resources. To effectively conserve biodiversity, it is essential to make indic...
Chapter giving the overview of the conservation state of Rio de Janeiro Endemic plant species.
Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, with about 37,000 species of land plants. Part of this biodiversity is within protected areas. The development of online databases in the last years greatly improved the available biodiversity data. However, the existing databases do not provide information about the protected areas in wh...

ABSTRACT Since the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in Science and Humanities published in 2003, the demand for an "open science" whose primary concern is to make research activity more transparent, more collaborative and more efficient, has grown at the academy. Added to this, the perception that the access and sharing of research da...
governança oficial da biodiversidade e dos serviços ecossistêmicos no Brasil
é bipolar: por um lado, instituições fortes e capazes; por outro, problemas infraestruturais,
processos lentos, ineficiência nas ações e conflitos jurídicos e
socioecológicos. O Brasil dispõe de uma variedade de instrumentos de política
e de opções de governança socioambie...
This paper describes a visualization approach of the existing network available in Brazil to achieve the targets of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) for 2020 in Brazil. The approach uses the Brazilian National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans and other key documents to identify and map institutions, roles and actions relate...
This paper provides a quantitative and general description of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden herbarium (RB) dataset. Created over a century ago, the RB currently comprises ca. 750,000 mounted specimens, with a strong representation of Brazilian flora, mainly from the Atlantic and Amazon forests. Nearly 100% of these specimens have been entered...
O herbário do Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro (RB) foi fundado em 1890, sendo hoje o maior acervo de amostras botânicas do Brasil. O conjunto de coleções que atualmente integra o "acervo do herbário RB" vai além das suas exsicatas, incluindo cerca de 700 mil espécimes que permite múltiplas utilizações de seus dados primários. Do total de amostras...
Fishing is one of the most important activities to the traditional communities from the federal conservation units of sustainable use in the Amazon Forests. Among the most importants fish species is the pirarucu (Arapaima gigas). Being threatened with overexploitation, its capture is conditioned to the annual counting method for stock assessment. T...
In this article we describe the Brazilian Biodiversity Information System, which aims to provide an infrastructure for gathering, integrating, and analyzing data produced by various institutions in this area. Both its architecture and the workflow for harvesting and indexing data on species occurrences and checklists, one of the already implemented...
Biodiversity data is becoming increasingly available and its volume is growing rapidly. Integration of different related repositories is also advancing through a number of successful initiatives. This data can be given as input to sophisticated computer models for predicting potential distribution of species. As the amounts of manipulated data incr...
The herbarium of Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden (RB) is one of the most important reference collections of Brazil's diversity. The database of the herbarium is a source of data about scientific collections, providing information about taxonomic or biogeographical research. But, for several reasons, this database, like others, has many problems ass...
The present level of biodiversity depletion and loss, and the diffusion of new geotechnologies create the outlines for a new paradigm, where spatial data is extremely valuable. Quality datasets may be used to support decision-making processes in public policies related to biodiversity conservation. Specimen datasets used by the scientific community...
Information systems for biodiversity management and monitoring are effective tools for nature conservation. However, the taxonomic data are difficult to handle, considering the rate of new discoveries and constant updates of the names by the specialists. Thus, the definition of a methodology to manage and share knowledge of these researchers is nee...
