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 ...

Data Leakage and Loss in Biodiversity Informatics

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018
The field of biodiversity informatics is in a massive, “grow-out” phase of creating and enabling large-scale biodiversity data resources. Because perhaps 90% of existing biodiversity data nonetheless remains unavailable for science and policy ...

Connecting data and expertise: a new alliance for biodiversity knowledge [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2019
There has been major progress over the last two decades in digitising historical knowledge of biodiversity and in making biodiversity data freely and openly accessible. Interlocking efforts bring together international partnerships and networks, national,

Biodiversity's big wet secret: the global distribution of marine biological records reveals chronic under-exploration of the deep pelagic ocean [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Understanding the distribution of marine biodiversity is a crucial first step towards the effective and sustainable management of marine ecosystems. Recent efforts to collate location records from marine surveys enable us to assemble a global

Spatial distribution of biodiversity citizen science in a natural area depends on area accessibility and differs from other recreational area use

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Opportunistic citizen science produces large amounts of primary biodiversity data but is underutilized in the conservation and management of protected areas despite these areas’ status as citizen science hotspots. Application of these data may be limited
