Video abstract and podcast for biogeographical ignorance

Richard Ladle and Tropibio collaborators Joaquin Hortal, and Juliana Stropp (National Museum of Natural Sciences, Spain), and Geiziane Tessarolo (State University of Goiás, Brazil) among others,  are constructing the first Maps of Biogeographical Ignorance (MoBIs) that account for uncertainty in biodiversity analysis.
