Objectives of WP 1:

  • To agree on data management (structure of data bank)
  • To standardise inventories of different species groups to be used for co-occurrence analysis
  • To calibrate methods used in different working groups and agree on standardised methodology for comparability and later use of data for modelling and genetic analyses
  • To standardise GOS (goodness of sampling) tests for field work
  • To compile available land use data
  • To train new Post-Docs & PhD students on standard techniques
