Most records either come from physical specimens in a museum or digital field observations, but both are useful for detecting shifts in the number and abundance of species in an area. However, a new Stanford study has found that both record types are flawed, and the degree to which they are riddled with coverage gaps and biases depends on the kind of dataset.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-05-comparison-specimens-field-reveals-biases.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Comparison of specimens and field observations reveals biases in biodiversity data<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have assembled billions of records.
