AbstractQuantify potential gains to insect data on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) through further digitisation of natural history collections, assess to what degree this would fill biases in spatial and environmental record coverage, and deepen understanding of environmental bias with regard to climate rarity.

1 INTRODUCTION The availability of massive biodiversity data provides an important opportunity to bridge the gap between local (field-based) and macroecological research, ameliorating the biodiversity information shortfalls (Hortal et al., 2015).

AbstractDung removal by macrofauna such as dung beetles is an important process for nutrient cycling in pasturelands. Intensification of farming practices generally reduces species and functional diversity of terrestrial invertebrates, which may negatively affect ecosystem services. Here, we investigate the effects of cattle-grazing intensification on dung removal by dung beetles in field experiments replicated in 38 pastures around the world.

1 INTRODUCTION Large-scale biodiversity patterns are strongly determined by the quality and quantity of information available in species occurrences databases (Bisby, 2000; Hampton et al., 2013; Hughes, Orr, Yang, & Qiao, 2021; Moudry & Devillers, 2020).
