Guralnick32 Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) allow observation and reporting of global biodiversity change, but a detailed framework for the empirical derivation of specific EBVs has yet to be developed. Here, we re-examine and refine the previous candidate set of species traits EBVs and show how traits related to phenology, morphology, reproduction, physiology and movement can contribute to EBV operationalization. The selected EBVs express intra-specific trait variation and allow monitoring of how organisms respond to global change. We evaluate the societal relevance of species traits EBVs for policy targets and demon- strate how open, interoperable and machine-readable trait data enable the building of EBV data products.

Department of Biological Sciences, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS 39762 Abstract Broad-scale plant flowering phenology data has predominantly come from geographically and taxonomically restricted monitoring networks. However, platforms such as iNaturalist, where citizen scientists upload photographs and curate identifications, provide a promising new source of data. Here we develop a general set of best practices for scoring iNaturalist digital records supporting downstream re-use in phenology studies. We focus on a case study group, Yucca, because it has showy flowers and is well documented on iNaturalist. Additionally, drivers of Yucca phenology are not well-understood despite need for Yucca to synchronize flowering with obligate moth pollinators. Finally, evidence of anomalous flowering events have been recently reported, but the extent of those events is unknown.
