Mapping the historical biodiversity of the Solomon Islands with the American Museum of Natural History
Blog post from Carto
We updated specimen collecting information in the AMNH database and created a map that visualizes the route of the Whitney South Sea Expedition through the Solomon Islands. We parsed and standardized 809 redundant locality records into 154, extracted an additional 114 precise localities from the WSSE field journals, and cleaned and georeferenced over 8,000 records of avian specimens. The resulting dataset will be uploaded to the AMNH database and made available online, allowing for future studies on species distribution modeling, environmental impact, and climate change. Our work provides a new level of detail and accuracy in understanding the biodiversity of the Solomon Islands during the early 20th century.
