The data void in modeling current and future distributions of tropical species
Conserving biodiversity in the face of climate change requires a predictive ecology of species distributions. Nowhere is this need more acute than in the tropics, which harbor the majority of Earth’s... -
The development of a digitising service centre for natural history collections
Digitarium is a joint initiative of the Finnish Museum of Natural History and the University of Eastern Finland. It was established in 2010 as a dedicated shop for the large-scale digitisation of... -
The relative importance of deforestation, precipitation change, and temperature sensitivity in determining the future distributions and diversity of Amazonian plant species
Tropical forests are threatened by many human disturbances - two of the most important of which are deforestation and climate change. In order to mitigate the impacts of these disturbances, it is... -
Thoughts on implementation of the recommendations of the GBIF Task Group on a Global Strategy and Action Plan for Mobilisation of Natural History Collections Data
A Task Group to envision a Global Strategy and Action Plan for the Mobilization of Natural History Collections Data established by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) has formulated... -
Towards demand driven publishing: approaches to the prioritisation of digitisation of natural history collections data
Natural history collections represent a vast repository of biodiversity data of international significance. There is an imperative to capture the data through digitisation projects in order to expose... -
Validation of biological collections as a source of phenological data for use in climate change studies: a case study with the orchid Ophrys sphegodes
1. The scarcity of reliable long-term phenological data has severely hindered the study of the responses of species to climate change. Biological collections in herbaria andmuseums are potential... -
What would NASA do? Mission-critical infrastructure for species exploration
Three House of Lords reports and many essays and articles have lamented the loss of prestige and support for taxonomy in the UK, Europe and the United States, but little has been done to stop the... -
No specimen left behind: industrial scale digitization of natural history collections
Traditional approaches for digitizing natural history collections, which include both imaging and metadata capture, are both labour- and time-intensive. Mass-digitization can only be completed if the... -
Applications and limitations of museum data for conservation and ecology, with particular attention to species distribution models
To conserve biodiversity, it is necessary to understand how species are distributed and which aspects of the environment determine distributions. In large parts of the world and for the majority of... -
Approaches to estimating the universe of natural history collections data
This contribution explores the problem of recognizing and measuring the universe of specimen-level data existing in natural history collections around the world, and in absence of a complete, world-...
