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-... -
Bishop Gunnerus as naturalist: his impact on biodiversity research today
Bishop Gunnerus started his work as naturalist as soon as he arrived in Trondheim. In a pastoral letter to his clergymen he instructed them to collect specimens and information on natural history in... -
Online solutions and the ‘Wallacean shortfall’: what does GBIF contribute to our knowledge of species' ranges?
Aim: To investigate the contribution to range filling, range extent and climatic niche space of species of information contained in the largest databank of digitized biodiversity data: the global... -
PERSPECTIVE: Underutilized resources for studying the evolution of invasive species during their introduction, establishment, and lag phases
Abstract The early phases of biological invasions are poorly understood. In particular, during the introduction, establishment, and possible lag phases, it is unclear to what extent evolution must... -
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...
