The Pollinator Data Resource for the Americas IABIN Pollinators Thematic Network
This Presentation This Presentation • Background • Purpose • Interoperability with other TN’s and DIAG • Tools and Products • Services • Outreach • Sustainability
Background 1 in 3 bites of food
Background Beverages, fibers, spices, and medicines
Background Wild areas
Background $US 125 Billion worldwide
Accurate data needed for decision makers Pollinators are showing disturbing signs of decline worldwide
Purpose Create a network of pollinator databases that shares pollinator-related content through common data standards and exchange protocols.
Created in Parallel with other TN’s • One of the “youngest” TN’s • Fully interoperable with DIAG • Update System in place • Data cleansed through CIAT • Working to share data with SSTN
What has been Accomplished in the Pollinator Thematic Network? • Began with an extensive global survey of users • Where did they go for data? • What did they need and want?
Tools and Products • Darwin Core Extended for Plant-Pollinator Interactions
Tools and Products • Pollinator Contacts Database (200+ and growing)
Tools and Products • Pollinator Data Portal
Tools and Products • Manuals for each tool in 3 languages • LISTSERV of contributors • Network of contributors
Tools and Products • Pollinator Data Digitizer
Tools and Products • Pollinator Data Digitizer • Biodiversity Data Digitizer*
Services • 4 Training Courses • Reviewed and managed data content from 16 grantees • Help desk and support of grantees
Content Coverage ArgentinaBrazil – 10CanadaChile – 2ColombiaCosta RicaEcuadorEl SalvadorGuatemalaMexicoPanamaParaguayUSA
Pollinator Data Content Grantees • 16 IABIN Grants provided for data content • 12 institutions • 11 countries: • Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru
Outreach • NAPPC Meeting in Washington – 3 years • OAS Reception – 2 years
Outreach • SBSTA • Bohn • Rome • Japan • TDWG – 3 years • E-Biosphere • Bee Meeting in Brazil – 2 years • and many others
Outreach Presentations coming at: • Rio+20 • Brazilian Pollinators Initiative • North American Pollinator Protection Campaign • Apimondia 2012
Sustainability • Connected all our data providers
Sustainability • Worked collaboratively (Government, NGO, and University)
Sustainability • Hosting split between USA (webpage and portal) and Brazil (data portal and tools)
Sustainability of the PTN • Worked with funding from others – UN FAO, FAPESP, Ministry of Environment
Sustainability Our infrastructure is online and externally dependent only on: • ITIS • Biogeomancer • Google
Sustainability of the PTN • Support from UNEP/FAO/GEF Global Pollinator project • Brazilian project tools • Proposal to be submitted to Brazilian agencies • Development of new tools, analysis, data, • Support from the Research Center on Biodiversity and Computing- USP • FAO to support Contacts DB (+ crops) • 2 proposals written and beginning distribution

Thank you Muchas Gracias Obrigado
Biodiversity Data Digitizer • Lessons from Pollinator Data Digitizer • Spreadsheets sync (bidirectional) • Data quality features • auto-complete – all fields • auto-suggestions • Taxonomy – full taxonomic hierarchy • Geospatial – Georeferencing tool • Richer data content digitization • Multimedia (MRTG standard) • Bibliographic References (Dublin Core) • Better user experience
Biodiversity Data Digitizer • Demos
Pollinator Data Portal • Access to occurrence and interaction data • 1100k of specimens in collections • 29k of pollinator-plant interactions • Key for decision support in agriculture and conservation/sustainable management • Datasets from multiple sources • Access to Pollinator Contacts Database
Pollinator Data Portal by species/classification direct search by species – Interaction By countries By datasets
