Second GBOL1-Workshop at Museum Koenig

On 27/28 March 2015, a two-day GBOL1 Workshop was co-hosted by ZFMK custodians and external taxon experts at the Museum Koenig. Beside several talks on the subject of “First GBOL results”, there were discussion groups about the barcode datasets already available, and a bigger discussion about sampling strategies and the future of GBOL. The passionate discussion around the sample reimbursement showed how important this aspect is for securing the motivation and level of contribution of the external experts. Only a continuation of the chosen strategy will ensure a nationwide coverage of the German fauna and flora.
