Introduction With the advent of new ways of thinking about biodiversity (McGill et al. 2006) and novel sources of data (Jarić et al. 2020, Tosa et al. 2021, Tobias et al. 2022), we are experiencing a shift from measuring biodiversity based on species identities only (taxonomic diversity, TD), to taking into account either the evolutionary relationships among species (phylogenetic diversity, PD) or similarities in functional traits (functional diversity, FD) (Pavoine and Bonsall 2011).

1 INTRODUCTION An omnipresent scheme in introductory textbooks of ecology illustrates the numerous filters selecting which species end up assembling into local communities from a regional pool. An elusive problem concerning this ‘filtering’ metaphor is quantifying the relative contribution of abiotic and biotic factors in shaping communities (Chalmandrier et al., 2022; Kraft et al., 2015; Lamanna et al., 2014).

Earth has millions of fungi species, but the official emoji library has only one: Amanita muscaria, the red-capped, white-spotted mushroom found in fairy tale picture books and Super Mario Brothers. A staggering 180,000 species of butterflies and moths flit about this planet, yet their lone emoji avatar is a generic blue butterfly that looks like a spring break tattoo.

1 INTRODUCTION Groundwater is the most extensive unfrozen continental reserve of freshwater on Earth (Ferguson et al., 2021; Gleeson et al., 2016). From deep karstic aquifers to shallow alluvial sediments, groundwater is globally ubiquitous and functionally connected to surficial aquatic and terrestrial groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs).

Highlights•Currently available emojis encompass a broad range of animal species•Plants, fungi, and microorganisms are underrepresented in the current emoji set•Within animals, vertebrates are overrepresented and arthropods are underrepresented•Recent additions allow a better representation of animal phylogenetic diversitySummaryEmojis enable direct expressions of ideas and emotions in digital communication, also contributing to discussions on biodiversity conservation.
