Agricultural Informatics Contributions to Biodiversity Science and Biodiversity Assessments [PDF]
Proceedings of TDWG, 2017 Agricultural biodiversity has long been ignored by the traditional biodiversity community and the aggregators of their data. The Arnaud et al. (2016) GBIF "Final Report of the Task Group on GBIF Data Fitness for Use in Agrobiodiversity," provided recommendations primarily regarding crops and their wild relatives, but did not address wider issues of ...

Biodiversity soup: metabarcoding of arthropods for rapid biodiversity assessment and biomonitoring [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2012 Summary1. Traditional biodiversity assessment is costly in time, money and taxonomic expertise. Moreover, data are frequently collected in ways (e.g. visual bird lists) that are unsuitable for auditing by neutral parties, which is necessary for dispute resolution.2.
