Well said - and just to add here: The use of AI to overcome language barriers will create new barriers between those using AI and those who refuse, ultimately forcing everyone to submit to the products of commercial companies if they want to survive in the landscape.

Spatiotemporal isolation of oilseed rape fields reduces insect pest pressure and crop damage
We find that there is no one fits all approach in designing landscapes for flea beetle regulation as habitat use and scales of effect are species-specific for these pests. However, increasing the spa....

Zenodo is linked to CERN funding which may also be discontinued one day (but surely is more reliable for the next counple of decades than other institutions). Ensuring preservation across centuries might require chiseling the code in stone and storing the stone slabs in a gold plated ark ....

Very nice! Out of curiosity: What happens with the colour code if a species is distributed across several realms?
