Final Report of the Task Group on GBIF Data Fitness for Use in Agrobiodiversity [PDF]

, 2016
Human wellbeing and food security in a changing climate depend on productive and sustainable agriculture. For this, policies based on analyses and research results are vital to establish conservation priorities of natural resources that underpin the ...

Enhance food plant diversity conservation and use through greater coordination between genebanks and botanic gardens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food plants are vital to human and planetary health, but their diversity is threatened, making food security, nutrition, and environmental goals more difficult to achieve. Food plant diversity conservation, research, and education can be enhanced through collaboration between sectors, including genebanks and botanic gardens, which possess complementary

The value of ION to GBIF

, 2015
This a quick writeup of an analysis I did to make the case that the list of names held by the Index of Organism Names (ION) (part of Thomson Reuters) would be very useful for GBIF. I must declare a bias, in that I've spent a good chunk of the last 3-4 years exploring the ION database and investigating ways to link the taxonomic names it contains to the

Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

Occupancy of Urban Habitats by the Jersey Tiger Moth Is Revealed by Social Media Data but Not Traditional Monitoring

Ecology and Evolution
As the world's climate changes, species are undergoing range shifts. Range shifts are generally documented using databases such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), which largely contain data from monitoring schemes and wildlife ...

Linking GBIF and Genbank

, 2012
As part of my mantra that it's not about the data, it's all about the links between the data, I've started exploring matching GenBank sequences to GBIF occurrences using the specimen_voucher codes recorded in GenBank sequences. It's quickly becoming apparent that this is not going to be easy.

Wild edible fruits of Mozambique: Biodiversity hotspots and priority species for food security and sustainable development

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wild edible fruits (WEFs) are an important but underutilised resource for improving food security in sub‐Saharan Africa. In Mozambique, many rural communities rely on these fruits to supplement diets, generate income and cope with periods of food scarcity, yet national‐level knowledge of their diversity has been lacking.

Is the GBIF appropriate for use as input in models of predicting species distributions? Study from the Czech Republic

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука
Questions concerning species diversity have attracted ecologists and biogeographers for over a century, mainly because the diversity of life on Earth is in rapid decline, which is expected to continue in the future.

GBIF and Linked Data

, 2009
At the end of day two of the GBIF LSID-GUID Task Group I put together this crude diagram to summarise some of the possible links between biodiversity data and the larger linked data cloud, which I, among others, have argued is where biodiversity informatics should be heading.
