Harnessing the power of digitized natural history collections to visualize spatiotemporal patterns in native and non-native bee flight phenology
<p>What time of year are bees flying, where are they flying, and how do biogeographical factors, sex, and native status affect flight phenology? Consistent monitoring along with creating spatially and temporally explicit visualizations using large openly available data sets enhance our understanding of trends in flight time phenology and shape our understanding of bee-plant interactions, including shifts in the phenology of bee pollinators.</p> <p>Species occurrence data from digitized collection networks (iNaturalist, Global Biodiversity Information Faculty (GBIF), Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio), Symbiota Collections of Arthropods Network (SCAN), and UC Santa Barbara Collection Network) are part of an effort to improve our understanding of bees in coastal Santa Barbara County, including the California Channel Islands. New inventory collections combined with historical data from over 11 natural history museums and 2 observation networks are used in an effort to examine patterns and changes in phenology of native and non-native bee species, and create updated species inventories.</p> <p>Synthesizing species observation data from digitized natural history collections makes use of a wealth of existing data and multiplies the analytical power of isolated observations, but it is not without limitations and challenges. By exploring novel techniques to generate clear and accurate visualizations to communicate bee flight time, we present our key initial findings and identify geographic, temporal, and taxonomic gaps, which will lead to further focused inventory projects of coastal Santa Barbara County, improved data quality for phenological analyses, and reusable methods for visualizing insect phenology data across taxa or geography.</p> <p><strong>The attached files include the R code and some of the .csv files used to produce the figures in my poster that was available on demand at the Entomology Society of America 2020 virtual meeting. </strong></p>
The Natural History Museum's collection of Dalbergia, Pterocarpus and the Phaseolinae subtribe
<p>In 2018 the Natural History Museum (NHMUK, herbarium code: BM) undertook a pilot digitisation project together with the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (project Lead) and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to collectively digitise non-type herbarium material of the subtribe <em>Phaseolinae</em> and the genera <em>Dalbergia </em>L.f. and <em>Pterocarpus</em> Jacq. (rosewoods and padauk), all from the economically important family of legumes (<em>Leguminosae</em> or <em>Fabaceae</em>). </p> <p>These taxonomic groups were chosen for two case studies using the herbarium collections to support the aims of the UK’s Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA)-allocated, Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding: study 1 - to support the development of dry beans as a sustainable and resilient crop; study 2 - to aid conservation and sustainable use of rosewoods and padauk.</p> <p>We present the images and metadata for 11,222 NHMUK specimens. This includes label transcription and georeferencing, along with summary data on geographic, taxonomic, collector and temporal coverage. We also provide timings and the methodology for our transcription and georeferencing protocols. Approximately 35% of specimens digitised were collected in ODA-listed countries, in tropical Africa, but also in south east Asia and South America.</p>
