GloBI ♥ Arctos:  a practical exploration of biotic association records across platforms, collections and institutions.

Presenter: Jorrit Poelen (GloBI developer), September 6, 2022

Abstract:
Biotic associations are all around us: parasites bug their hosts, pollinators visit flowers, and predators eat their prey. But how to trace evidence supporting these biotic associations claims across collections and platforms? In this webinar we'll explore how Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI) currently indexes biotic association records across Natural History Collections managed in Arctos and beyond. Also, we'll go through some examples and try to articulate on what more is needed for your collection to benefit from these indexed associations. Join us for a hands-on exploration in the linked Arctos universe and beyond.
