A little thread on biodiversity #datasharing #openaccess #openscience. On sharing data on #rainforest birds and habitat that @gundupoo and I collected during 1997-99 in the Kalakad-Mundathurai Tiger Reserve #WesternGhats... a retrospective from a quarter century later 1/n In KMTR, March 1999; Photo by P JeganathanIn KMTR, Dec 2018; Photo by Kalyan Varma
Field biologists need not just collect or hoard biodiversity data for their own use. Sharing under a CC-BY or public domain (CC0) license enables better and wider use and adds value to science and scholarship, students and citizens. 2/n Illustration @dasaptaerwin @WikiCommons
For a start, our doctoral research data from KMTR, used in a couple of papers, is now @datadryad (CC0/Public Domain license). Bird and vegetation/habitat data from 21 transects in rainforests along an elevation gradient and from abandoned plantations. 3/n

Bueno, segunda vez que charlamos con amigos twitteros de #CiudadesBiodiversas por videoconferencia (gracias!!!) y para cerrar, sale hilo con ideas sobre como aumentar la biodiversidad de los espacios urbanos con las plantas nativas.
Para arrancar hay que decir que una especie nativa viene evolucionando hace miles de años con el entorno en perfecto equilibrio y que no responde a limites geográficos, sino ambientales. No es nativa una planta de Salta en Buenos Aires o Rosario por más que sea Argentina.
Que cuando digo miles de años no exagero. La lechuza de campanario tiene registros fósiles del Pleistoceno, los carpinteros, de hace 2,5 millones de años. El genero Prosopis, 37 millones de años y Acacia, casi 50. Muchos años afinando el lápiz la pacha, para que plantemos Fresno.
