What is Biodiversity?01:19

What is Biodiversity?

28.6K
Biodiversity describes the variety of living things at multiple organizational levels: genetic, species and ecosystem diversity. Species diversity includes all branches of the evolutionary tree from single-celled prokaryotic organisms, bacteria, and archaea, to the eukaryotic kingdoms: plants; animals; fungi; and protists. To date, there have been about 1.75 million species identified, and new species are discovered every week.

Biodiversity and Human Values

14.0K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Data Collection by Observations01:08

Data Collection by Observations

13.1K
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

126
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

23.5K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences02:51

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.3K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Area of Science:

  • Biodiversity science
  • Ecology
  • Conservation biology

Background:

  • Presence-only biodiversity data are crucial for research.
  • Digital infrastructures facilitate open data sharing.
  • The adoption of open data practices by researchers is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the extent of open data practices in biodiversity research.
  • To analyze the sources and sharing of presence-only biodiversity data.
  • To identify trends in metadata documentation and data citation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of indexed literature on presence-only biodiversity data.
  • Analysis of data sources (open vs. other).
  • Characterization of data sharing, metadata, and citation practices.

Main Results:

  • Biodiversity research frequently uses non-open presence-only data.
  • Researchers often do not share newly generated or collated data.
  • Trends in metadata and data citation require improvement.

Conclusions:

  • The biodiversity research community underutilizes open data practices.
  • Improved data sharing and documentation are essential.
  • Enhancing data accessibility increases research value, reusability, and reproducibility.
