Planetary Biodiversity Initiative (PBI): EuphORBia -a global inventory of the spurges Project AbstractThis project provides a methodology to understand large and complex groups of organisms, using the spurge genus Euphorbia, with about 2000 species worldwide, as the model. Following field work in biodiversity hotspots and examination of museum collections and literature, the research team will produce updated lists and descriptions of all species, tools for amateurs and scientists to identify species, DNA sequencing analyses to determine evolutionary relationships, analyses of the distributions and rarity of endangered species, and evaluation of control methods for several noxious weedy species. There will be a core team of Euphorbia taxonomists worldwide, and the resulting information will be organized and conveyed by a separate team of bioinformatic specialists.This comprehensive study of a complex plant genus of over 2000 species in a 5-year time frame using mainly Internet-based tools will demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining and disseminating information quickly for other large and diverse groups of organisms. The project provides extensive training of students from K-12 to the postdoctoral levels, an educational outreach module using Euphorbia as an example, and a global approach to conducting scientific collaboration. It examines both the control of noxious weeds like the leafy spurge complex and the conservation of the 900-odd species of Euphorbia considered endangered by CITES.

行星生物多样性倡议 (PBI)：EuphORBia - 全球大戟属清单 项目摘要 该项目以大戟属大戟属（全球约有 2000 种）为模型，提供了一种了解大型且复杂的生物体群体的方法。在生物多样性热点地区进行实地工作并检查博物馆藏品和文献后，研究小组将制作所有物种的最新列表和描述，为业余爱好者和科学家提供识别物种的工具，进行 DNA 测序分析以确定进化关系，分析分布和稀有性濒临灭绝的物种，以及几种有毒杂草物种的控制方法评估。全球范围内将有一个由大戟属分类学家组成的核心团队，所产生的信息将由一个单独的生物信息学专家团队进行组织和传达。这项主要利用互联网在 5 年时间内对 2000 多个物种的复杂植物属进行的综合研究基于的工具将证明快速获取和传播其他大型和多样化生物体信息的可行性。该项目为从 K-12 到博士后水平的学生提供广泛的培训，以大戟属为例提供教育推广模块，以及开展科学合作的全球方法。它研究了对绿叶大戟等有毒杂草的控制，以及对被 CITES 视为濒临灭绝的 900 多种大戟属物种的保护。
