Species assemblages were differentiated between ecoregions and were structured most strongly by variation in rainfall. These efforts have delivered the baseline data needed to assess future change\u2014<\/span>comprehensive, spatially and seasonally explicit data on insect biodiversity in KNP.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The next steps involve extending the analysis to other national parks in South Africa, and ultimately, to the world’s 4000 national parks. The aim is to obtain the baseline data required to assess insect communities and usher in the global biomonitoring systems needed to aid scientists and citizens in forecasting changes in biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.5em” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ custom_margin=”||22px|||” custom_padding=”50px|50px|50px|50px|false|false”]<\/p>\n For full details, please refer to the publication<\/a> in Biological Conservation.<\/i><\/p>\n For more information on the program efforts, see: Kruger Malaise Program summary<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||on||||||” text_font_size=”14px” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n I and the co-authors of the publication\u2014<\/span>Michelle van der Bank, Zandisile Shongwe, Ryan D.
