• Accelerated species inventory on Madagascar using coalescent-based models of species delineation. (2009, background): “An important task remains the linkage of sequence diversity to species already described in order to integrate the 90% of species awaiting discovery (Wilson 2003) with our existing knowledge of biodiversity.”
• DISEASES: Text mining and data integration of disease–gene associations (2014, background): “We are currently extending that work to identify environments from the Environment Ontology [45] in text, for example, from the Encyclopedia of Life [46].”
• The integrative future of taxonomy (2010, background): “The future has been envisioned to be an interactive "cybertaxonomy" with dynamic online description and publication of new species, and where updated taxonomic information would be accessible for almost everybody from everywhere [16,17].”
• Future challenges in cephalopod research* (2014, background): “Arquipélago—Life and Marine Sciences 23A, 27–46.”
• DNA barcoding and taxonomy in Diptera: a tale of high intraspecific variability and low identification success. (2006, background): “8 million species have been described with an estimated 5 to 100 million species awaiting discovery and/or description (Wilson, 2003).”
• The environment ontology: contextualising biological and biomedical entities (2013, methodology): “Biologically motivated research is generating [1-3] and archiving [4,5] ever-larger quantities of computerised data from environmental samples.”
• A new molecular phylogeny offers hope for a stable family level classification of the Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera) (2011, background): “It provides a framework for access to a massive information resource on the biology, ecology and economic importance of all species, perhaps epitomized today by the Encyclopaedia of Life initiative (Wilson 2003).”
• Using taxonomic revision data to estimate the geographic and taxonomic distribution of undescribed species richness in the Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) (2009, background): “Gaining an accurate knowledge of global biodiversity patterns is a pressing concern for biologists seeking to determine both the actual, and potential, anthropogenic impact upon life on earth (Purvis & Hector, 2000; Mace et al., 2003, 2005; Wilson, 2003).”
• The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “Our knowledge of global biodiversity and its rate of extinction is very limited, but of the 3–100 million species believed to exist, conservative estimates point to about 3000 being lost each year, that is, eight species per day (Wilson, 2003a; González-Oreja, 2008).”
• Plant species identification using digital morphometrics: A review (2012, background): “E. O. Wilson has argued for the creation of an ‘‘encyclopedia of life’’ (Wilson, 2003) – a web page for every species of life on Earth — and with it, the embrace of new technologies, such as digital images of plant specimens provided by the world’s herbaria.”
