wrap up time and GBIF dinner on Wed, and the Thu morning plan
by Dmitry Schigel 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hello all, We just revised the plan and a summary/wrap up will take place at Monash University Clayton, 32 Exhibition walk, Monash Club, meeting room 2 on Wednesday, 12 Oct at 15:30-17:00: https://goo.gl/maps/71iVTWT6qVv. Arthur, Lee, Miles, see you at 15:30 tomorrow. There will be a GBIF dinner on that day, GBIF is inviting the IAS task group, Arthur, Lee and Miles. Melodie is kindly arranging a shuttle from campus to the city and back to Quest Glen Waverley. More information on the restaurant later. We also agreed that it would be a good idea for all IAS and DQ people to start the Thursday 13 Oct program by meeting at the same place, Monash club at 9:00 and then see how we divide ourselves in the morning. I will start Thursday in the data quality room, and we expect the IAS people to join the DQ session as soon as the work on the IAS report is finished: earliest 9:00, latest around lunch. Dmitry

replies to Monday questions
by Dmitry Schigel 11 Oct '16

Hello, Here comes some replies to our Monday questions: >From Tim Hirsch on GIASIP: ...the following points to the task group regarding GIASIP. Tim might get more news from IUCN UK headquarters and Kevin Smith and possibly from Donald Hobern, too. * We cannot at present be definite about the future of the Global Invasive Alien Species Information Partnership (GIASIP) as its continuation as a funded activity will depend on decisions at the CBD COP13 in Mexico in December. Discussions are still under way around mechanisms that may bring this onto the agenda of COP13, including with reference to the Honolulu Challenge formulated at the World Conservation Congress in September. * However, we can share the main vision from GBIFS point of view as to the direction of this partnership which would be focussed on: o Completing and maintaining GRIIS as the authoritative list of invasive species for all countries and island territories, maintained as a curated and (where possible) peer-reviewed set of authoritative checklists drawn from expert editors with full source references. o Incorporating GRIIS lists into GBIF.org so that e.g. all relevant species pages could reference inclusion on a GRIIS country invasive list and provide appropriate links. o GBIF would facilitate publication of IAS checklists using standard tools and vocabularies, enabling any partner or organisation to share those lists both directly through GBIF.org and as a contribution towards up to date versions of GRIIS, including e.g. Using GBIF tools to standardise taxonomies. o GBIF would continue to maintain a GIASIP repository through an IPT that would enable the integrated country/species/status lists to be ingested by any platform including e.g. CBD country profiles through the Clearing House Mechanism. * We would welcome recommendations from the IAS task group for key functionalities beyond GBIF.org that could be incorporated into future work of GIASIP based on the identified needs of invasion biology research - these recommendations will be helpful in the discussions of funding for GIASIP at COP13, and might even be included as an information document for COP13. >From Tim Robertson on subscription for updates: * No. I'm afraid there are no alerting functions currently, nor are they planned. We've pondered this a few times, and it could be done, but is not going to be something within the next 6 months or so.

>From Alex Borisenko FYI About 82% of species listed in GISD have a match in the BOLD database. Many of these species are represented from several countries across their current ranges. Please note that this estimate is conservative because, as a first pass, I was only looking at strict syntax matches. Thus, a single typo or nomenclature discrepancy would turn up a mismatch. IF we do some taxonomic data cleansing and resolving of synonymy, I am sure this percentage will rise further. The COI sequence coverage is at 37% but this is because many invasive species are plants, and we use a different set of DNA barcode markers for them. I cannot get summary statistics for matK and rbcL as easily. If your list could be parsed by animals and plants, I should be able to get more accurate stats. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shyama Pagad Program Officer IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group University of Auckland, New Zealand Tel +64210754381 email: s.pagad(a)auckland.ac.nz skype: shyama.pagad www.issg.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group aims to reduce threats to natural ecosystems and the native species they contain by increasing awareness of the impacts of invasive species; and of ways to prevent their spread and, control or eradicate them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
