Diversifying the GBIF Data Model
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) has been immensely successful in mobilizing a large number of records documenting species occurrence through a global network of data publishers. Today over 2 billion records are available for search and download through the GBIF.org infrastructure, with over 200 million originating in natural science

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]
Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...
