“…In the next decade, novel research approaches spearheaded by recent developments of machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches (Soltis et al 2020) will significantly benefit from the vast amounts of data housed at speciesLink and other biodiversity information portals. These data will be especially crucial to expediting taxonomic analyses in the Anthropocene (Grace et al 2021, Mabry et al 2022, Gorneau et al 2022, for high-throughput phenotyping (Gehan & Kellogg 2017), and for the development of new integrative research blending morphology, geology, and ecology, among other data sources.…”

speciesLink is a large-scale biodiversity information portal that exists thanks to a broad collaborative network of people and institutions. CRIA’s involvement with the scientific community of Brazil and other countries is responsible for the significant results achieved, currently reaching more than 15 million primary biodiversity data records, 95% of which are associated with preserved specimens and about 25% with high-quality digital images. The network provides data on over 200,000 species, of which over 110,000 occur in Brazil. This article describes thematic networks within speciesLink, as well as some of the most useful tools developed. The importance and contributions of speciesLink are outlined, as are concerns about securing stable budgetary support for such biodiversity data e-infrastructures. Here we review the value of speciesLink as a major source of biodiversity information for research, education, informed decision-making, policy development, and bioeconomy.

“…These re-envisioned data products are part of what is needed to reinvigorate long-term funding for taxonomy (Britz et al 2020). Lastly, the use of PIDs in monography can easily foster international collaboration by integrating data across organizations globally, which can promote inclusivity in taxonomy (Gorneau et al 2022).…”

“…We will strive to provide safe spaces where all biodiversity research can be showcased without bias, and theoretical and practical advances can be subject to calm and civil debate. As journal editors we will implement measures to work towards a fairer and more inclusive science, such as giving proper recognition to all researchers involved in the research published 13 , or ensuring in revisions that former research made by different identity groups and local scientists is adequately acknowledged 14 . We will also acknowledge diversity by maintaining a diverse editorial board 15 and engaging external peer-reviewers 16 that represent local specialists, the diversity of approaches in each field, as well as early-career researchers across demographic groups.…”
