The Coordination Unit of the Spanish GBIF node organises a replica of the fourth GBIF Ecological Niche Modelling workshop. The basic concepts needed to understand and perform biological data analysis through modelling are studied in this practical workshop, together with diverse software commonly used in this field, as Desktop GARP or MaxEnt.

This workshop will be given by Elisa Liras from Almería University in collaboration with Alicia Gómez (Unversidad de Extremadura). It will take place in May from the 27th to the 30th 2008 in the computing facility of The Royal Botanical Garden (CSIC). The deadline to send pre-subscription forms is May the 8th, 2008.

The suscription period for the EDIT Summer School "Modern Taxonomy and Field Work" is currently open. The EDIT Summer School 2008 is open to students that have recently finished their MSc. level or are in an early stage of their PhD research in a biological discipline. The Summer School will be held in the late summer of 2008 (31/08-14/09) in the French/Italian Alpine nature reserves of Mercantour and Alpi Marittime. The Call for Students is open until June 1^st 2008. The Call for training providers is open until all positions have been filled.

The purpose of the Summer School is to train students in “Best Practice” of field sampling and various aspects of taxonomic research to be applied in biodiversity and conservation biology research. The Summer School will focus on disseminating practical taxonomic experience with theory lectures to give an in-depth understanding of the current state of taxonomic research and its broad applicability in other scientific disciplines and non-scientific initiatives.

The Spanish data provision to the GBIF Network has surpased the figure of TWO MILLION SPANISH BIODIVERSITY RECORDS. The latest contributions have been done by the herbarium of the University of Malaga with 50,476 records, the Latin American Center for Biodiversity (CIBIO) of the University of Alicante with 26,559 and the herbarium of the University of Murcia with 4,984. It is specially remarkable the new cryptogamic collection published in GBIF of the University of Valencia that has transfered 5,786 biodiversity records.
