Title Addressing data disparities is critical for biodiversity assessments.
Journal Trends Ecol Evol
Abstract Biodiversity and nature assessments such as the US National Nature Assessment assess the state of biodiversity and the contributions of nature to humans.. Using three species relevant to public health, the economy, and ecosystem services, we illustrate here how socioeconomics relate to biodiversity data availability. Inequities in biodiversity records could risk inaccurate ecological assessments and hamper equitable policies.
