Hi all,

Sorry to go dark over the past weeks.

For the species analyses, I would like to suggest we try to stratify this somewhat by taxonomic group and realm. 

For example, look at terrestrial (plants, verts, insects) versus marine (algae, fish, molluscs/crabs, other inverts) and freshwater (plants, fish, molluscs, other inverts).  I expect different patterns by group.  If this is too complicated (= too many groups), maybe we can do plants, verts, inverts.

I also think it would be really interesting to compare the high profile non-natives to similar taxa that are not on this list (= an outgroup for comparison).   Thought this may be worth considering as the query gets structured.

Thanks,

Greg

Dear Dmitry

Apologies for the delay. Attached the GRIIS version 2 species list and the IUCN-ISSG 100 of the worlds worst.

 

With regard to GRIIS version2, I completed a remove duplicates, but there seem to be many doubles. I thought you may have some smart way of removing them.

 

Also, inclusion of Family…I have Kingdom listed.

 

Regards

Shyama

Indeed,

 

Good to see you online, Quentin.

 

As soon as Shyama sends the IAS lists to GBIF, GBIF informatics will deliver the data for your analyses of the publication lags. More news on postponed Skype and other preparations shortly, Melodie confirmed we tidy up the activities this week.

 

Best regards,

Dmitry Schigel

The final comments make interesting reading.

Quality control is mentioned several times as is the availability of data on nativeness.

Hello group,

 

Melodie requested the survey status update, I reply to all as you might like to take action.

 

38 people responded (IASSurvey), including 26 people in total from the spreadsheet have answered so far from your 60+ invited experts, see column K in our tracking table [1]. All the rest in the table did not react, and I appreciate you remind your few experts about the importance of their input. As you remember, we will open the survey to broader audience in early Sep. It would great to tidy up the responses from the “power users”. In addition, 10 people, who weren’t on the target list of power users have answered (NonExperts, the ones not in yellow).
