Editor's Notes
- #2: NBN Trust NBN network Standards & protocols NBN Atlas – digital data sharing infrastructure (launched 2017)
- #3: Green Nettle Weevil These are our big numbers
- #4: Search by species Home page search List of species Species page Pictures Info Lists Tabs Interactive map Points filters
- #5: Search by location Explore by address Change radius to 1km Postcode of venue Change to map All species in area Mammals Hedgehogs Click on dot More info
- #6: Can do more in spatial layer e.g. add different pre loaded layers I’ve pre selected the Mendip Hills Going for a walk, want to know which species I may see Particularly interested in a woodpecker Remove tick can just show those Can produce species lists and area report, both of which can be downloaded
- #12: Dr. Manuel Caballer Gutierrez from the Natural History Museum in France contacted our technical and data support officer Had seen an image on the NBN Atlas labelled as Hermaea bifida (the photo on the left) He thought it was Hermaea cantabra (middle photo) – thought to be endemic to the Bay of Biscay specifically Santander in Spain and never been identified in the UK David Fenwick, provided a higher resolution image, from which Dr Caballer could confirm that it was in fact Hermaea cantrabra and as a result of this, it was added to the UK Species Inventory A couple of months later another new Hermaea species, Hermaea paucicirra (right photo) was identified from David Fenwick’s photos – again confirmed by Dr Caballer
- #13: Dots on a map only take you so far when trying to engage people How do we take those dots and make them something that will engage new audiences with nature?
