The Public Library of Science [1] has launched the “PLoS Hub for Biodiversity [2],” a resource that will aggregate biodiversity research from a range of publicly available sources. The aim of this website is to create a place to share the latest findings, ideas and tools, to connect researchers who have complementary interests and ideas, and to accelerate the pace of research and discovery.
PLoS worked with many of the CoML Project Groups [3] to publish Special Collections [4] of their articles, primarily consisting of research articles published in PLoS ONE [5].
