Defining biodiversity data [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution
It is crucial to document biodiversity data and to take actions to halt the ongoing massive loss of biodiversity. Yet, these data are poorly defined. We propose a definition of biodiversity data and discuss its implications for data management, enabling enhanced data mobilization for integrated research and efficient conservation strategies.

Databases, Scaling Practices, and the Globalization of Biodiversity [PDF]

, 2011
Since the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992, biodiversity has become an important topic for scientific research. Much of this research is focused on measuring and mapping the current state of biodiversity, in terms of which species are present ...

Collating biodiversity occurrence data for conservation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Plant and animal checklists, with conservation status information, are fundamental for conservation management. Historical field data, more recent data of digital origin and data-sharing platforms provide useful sources for collating species locality ...

People are essential to linking biodiversity data. [PDF]

Database (Oxford), 2020
Abstract People are one of the best known and most stable entities in the biodiversity knowledge graph. The wealth of public information associated with people and the ability to identify them uniquely open up the possibility to make more use of these data in biodiversity science.

Biodiversity informatics: managing and applying primary biodiversity data

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004
Recently, advances in information technology and an increased willingness to share primary biodiversity data are enabling unprecedented access to it. By combining presences of species data with electronic cartography via a number of algorithms, estimating niches of species and their areas of distribution becomes feasible at resolutions one to three ...

Indicator framework for measuring quantity and quality of biodiversity - exemplified in the Nordic countries [PDF]

, 2012
In 2002, world leaders made a commitment through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to achieve a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010.

Towards structured biodiversity data [PDF]

, 2018
Over the last 15 years there was a huge progress in mobilising biodiversity data through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). However, the standard adopted for this work, the Darwin Core, was designed with museum collection data in mind ...

Unlocking biodiversity data: Prioritization and filling the gaps in biodiversity observation data in Europe

Biological Conservation, 2018
Abstract Large quantities of biodiversity data are required to assess the current status of species, to identify drivers of population and distributional change, and to predict changes to biodiversity under future scenarios. Nevertheless, currently-available data are often not well-suited to these purposes.
