What we're reading: May/June 2018

Data Use
1

Another two months reveal another two sets of interesting uses of GBIF-mediated data.

@dnoesgaard has already featured one on the website (and a further discussion’s here), in which the authors successfully predicted a hotspot for Nipah spillover. Other highlights include a pair of papers from the journal Heredity and the first paper published by an author at a Togolese institution (not coincidentally arising through the BID programme).

Any favourites for you in this batch?
