Just learning that #iNaturalist will export observations with obscured location coordinates to #GBIF as part of their 'research grade' dataset. I understand that research grade isn't a formally defined term, but I sure didn't expect it to include records that have had their data deliberately altered! You need to anticipate and check for all kinds of errors in public data like this, but people introducing errors on purpose is not something I considered checking for.
I understand there is a good reason to obscure location data. But including altered records by default in 'research grade' is very unexpected. Holy smokes.
The MACB Herbarium of the Faculty of Biological Sciences at UCM has been updated again in @gbif : 125,920 records, predominantly of Spanish flora:

Registrations are open for our next Data Use Club practical session - Data standards & processing!
Wed 12 Feb 2025 15:00-16:30 CET. This event will be recorded.
The observations that Rene and I have made of tōtara bud mites are at the moment the only South Island observations of this species on #iNaturalist and #GBIF. It would be great to know where else they're living, if you're into this kind of thing.
Die AOD-Daten sind nun auch in #GBIF

Hello from #Harare, #Zimbabwe! This week we're supporting the #GBIF #Africa Regional Nodes Meeting and the Africa Engagement Meeting for the #Biodiversity Information for Development (BID) Programme! (1/3)
An overnight refresh to data from Observation.org has pushed the #GBIF index past #3billion occurrence records!
With *just* under 100 million records (wait till next week!), this 
-based NGO is also a formal #GBIF Participant, whose massive #CitizenScience contributions often go overlooked.
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd en bedankt to Dylan Verheul & the whole Observation.org team!

We've renewed and re-established the #GBIF task group on on invasive alien species 
!
Led by Dr Melodie McGeoch of Monash University, this group of 12 international experts will offer guidance & identify pragmatic steps for GBIF to reach its full potential as an information resource for research and policy on #InvasiveSpecies #IAS :

Just curious what do you call the process of creating/assigning spatial feature (point, polygon or line) to a location description or other information about locality? Like assigning spatial feature to species finding from literature described like "10 miles NE. of Springfield". In #biodiversity field this is usually called georeferencing.

Panama has joined #GBIF as the 107th member, strengthening efforts to share and utilize open biodiversity data across Latin America and the Caribbean and providing valuable training and capacity-building opportunities for Panamanian institutions to increase the available data about the country.
Welcome, Panama!
