Taxonomy and biogeography can benefit from citizen scientists. The use of social networking and open access cooperative publishing can easily connect naturalists even in more remote areas with in-country scientists and institutions, as well as those abroad. This enables taxonomic efforts without frontiers and at the same time adequate benefit sharing measures.
We present new distribution and habitat data for diving beetles of Bali island, Indonesia, as a proof of concept. The species Aubé, 1838 and (Fabricius, 1781) are reported from Bali for the first time. The total number of Dytiscidae species known from Bali is now 34.
分类学和生物地理学可以从公民科学家那里受益。利用社交网络和开放获取的合作出版能够轻松地将即使是更偏远地区的博物学家与国内科学家及机构以及国外的科学家及机构联系起来。这使得分类学工作能够跨越国界,同时采取适当的利益分享措施。
作为概念验证,我们展示了印度尼西亚巴厘岛潜水甲虫的新分布和栖息地数据。首次从巴厘岛报道了1838年的物种奥贝和1781年的物种(法布尔)。现在已知巴厘岛的龙虱科物种总数为34种。
