Hsu, Leslie; Colasuonno, Leah The power, potential, and pitfalls of open access biodiversity data in range size assessments: Lessons from the fishes
Geographic rarity is a driver of a species’ intrinsic risk of extinction. It encompasses multiple key components including range size, which is one of the most commonly measured estimates of geographic rarity. Range size estimates are often used to prioritize conservation efforts when there are multiple candidate species, because data for other...
