Anthro-paws: 🐾 How COVID-19 lockdowns unlocked 🔓 increased habitat suitability for species A study by Sillero et al., developed ecological niche models using GBIF-mediated occurrences of 381 native species across multiple taxa 🌱🐕 along with remote-sensing data to explore whether habitat suitability in the Iberian Peninsula increased during the 2020 and 2021 lockdowns. Overall, the models showed habitat suitability was at its highest during lockdowns, finding a clear correlation between decreased air pollution when people stayed at home and the resulting positive effects on species’ habitat quality. 🌍 🔗https://lnkd.in/dAKZ9xvX #DataUse #Resarch #Biodiversity

🎥 Better than the original: New SQL-based service enables download of occurrence data cube GBIF has enabled a simple, easy-to-use service for creating and downloading species occurrence cubes based on GBIF-mediated data. This work was done in collaboration with B-Cubed Project led by INBO (Research Institute for Nature and Forest - Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek) Read more about how this work shapes up 🧊: https://lnkd.in/dgft452D

Have your say on the future of invasive alien 👽species (IAS) management📣 We're looking for the input of IAS data collectors, users or curators to take part in a survey to help shape the future of IAS data standards and accessibility. This survey is hosted by the GBIF and Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) task groups on IAS, with findings used to inform a public report focusing on current practices in IAS data collection, curation and use. ⭐ Learn more: 🔗https://lnkd.in/dSFWF2EE 🛸#EcologicalSpaceInvaders #InvasiveSpecies #Biodiversity #Data

🚀 Researchdata.se – Sweden’s new portal for research data is here! Today, 25 March, we launch Researchdata.se, a national web portal that makes it easier than ever for researchers to find, share, and reuse research data across a wide range of disciplines. With thousands of searchable datasets and resources for sustainable data management, the portal provides a powerful platform for the entire research community. 💡 Why Researchdata.se?  🔹 Enhances Open Science and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration.  🔹 Facilitates cooperation between universities, research infrastructures, and research organizations.  🔹 Provides access to tools, expertise, and services for efficient research data management. 🌍 A step towards open access  Developed on the initiative of Swedish National Data Service (SND), the portal is a key part of the effort to realize the EU’s and Sweden’s goal of open access to publicly funded research data. In collaboration with partners such as the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, Huminfra Sweden, InfraVis, NBIS – National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden, SBDI / GBIF: The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Sweden, SciLifeLab, Swedish Infrastructure for Ecosystem Science - SITES and Swedigarch, we are building a unified national resource for research data.   🤝 Interested in collaborating?  Would you like to contribute to Researchdata.se and the advancement of Open Science in Sweden? SND welcomes new partners interested in sharing research data, training materials, or data management tools. 📩 Read more and get in touch with Swedish National Dataservice snd@snd.se #OpenScience #FAIRdata #Researchdata #Forskningsdata #Samarbete #Forskning 

Birds of a feather🪶form breeding pairs in #Greenland together 💗 A new dataset of 13,337 breeding bird records in Greenland spanning from 1843 to 2021 has recent been shared to GBIF.org. 🐦 The dataset has been compiled from both published and unpublished sources by David Boertmann of Aarhus University and includes data from technical reports, scientific papers, personal observations and online platforms like iNaturalist and eBird. The records are classified into confirmed, probable, and possible breeding occurrence. The data compilation was funded by the Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation and was made available for publishing through support of #DanBIF. This data will be featured in the upcoming book Birds of Greenland, due for release in 2025. 📖 Explore the dataset here: 🔗https://lnkd.in/d_g3dexC #DanBIF
