Digging deeper: using Afrotropical dung beetles to better understand quality and coverage of biodiversity data
- Abstract:
-
Rapid technological advance over the last century has fundamentally altered the way we understand the world, and the study of biodiversity is no exception. Developments in earth observation and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) tools have generated expansive maps of the environment, next-generation (NGS) sequencing has facilitated access to extensive genetic information, and mass digitisation and collation of records on online biodiversity databases have expanded the spatial, temporal, a...
