Iberoamerican online workshop on Collections and Genbank

The progress of biodiversity studies along with molecular techniques and new ecological approaches in recent times has been significant. However, the lack of procedures and practices to make the conclusions of these studies reviewable, questions their scientific validity in many cases. In this context, the importance of collection specimens as a pillar of the scientific method in these studies is increasingly recognized and accepted. The aim of this workshop is to explore how to link to GenBank when publishing this kind of data and thus, to show how GenBank and GBIF, can be effectively combined to remotely address the problem of inaccuracy of taxonomic identifications in occurrence data repositories.
