| Description | The global distribution patterns of most vertebrate groups and several plant groups have been described and ana-lyzed over the past few years, a development facilitated by the compilation of important databases. Similar efforts are needed for large insect groups that constitute the majority of global bio-diversity. As a result of this lack of information, invertebrate taxa are often left out of both large-scale analyses of biodiversity pat-terns and large-scale efforts in conservation planning and prior-itization. Here, we introduce the first comprehensive global data-base of ant species distributions, the Global Ant Biodiversity Informatics (GABI) database, based on the compilation of 1.72 million records extracted from over 8811 publications and 25 existing databases. We first present the main goals of the data-base, the methodology used to build the database, as well as its limitations and challenges. Then, we discuss how different fields of ant biology may benefit from utilizing this tool. Finally, we emphasize the importance of future participation of myrmecolo-gists to improve the database and use it to identify and fill holes in our knowledge of ant biodiversity. | |||||||||||||||
