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

Standardized NEON organismal data for biodiversity research [PDF]

, 2022
Understanding patterns and drivers of species distribution and abundance, and thus biodiversity, is a core goal of ecology. Despite advances in recent decades, research into these patterns and processes is currently limited by a lack of standardized ...

Estimating herbarium specimen digitization rates: Accounting for human experience

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2021
Premise Herbaria are invaluable sources for understanding the natural world, and in recent years there has been a concerted effort to digitize these collections. To organize such efforts, a method for estimating the necessary labor is desired.

A framework for publishing primary biodiversity data [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2011
In modern science, substantial amounts of data are often synthesized into concise publications that present only certain facets of the information contained in the full dataset. Complete datasets are rarely available for independent study. A report published in 2008 [1] neatly summarized the inadequacy of this conventional approach and suggests the ...

bdvis: visualizing biodiversity data in R [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2016
Abstract Summary: Biodiversity studies are relying increasingly on primary biodiversity records (PBRs) for modelling and analysis. Because biodiversity data are frequently ‘harvested’—i.e. not collected by the researcher for that particular study, but obtained from data aggregators such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ...
