The end of long-term ecological data?

Can we ever have too much ecological field data? Are data-sharing norms and the environmental costs of travel disincentivizing its collection? Allocating proper funding and resources to the collection of long-term ecological data is essential for studies of behavior and adaptation, which are particularly important in the face of anthropogenic change.

Abstract

Can we ever have too much ecological field data? Are data-sharing norms and the environmental costs of travel disincentivizing its collection? Allocating proper funding and resources to the collection of long-term ecological data is essential for studies of behavior and adaptation, which are particularly important in the face of anthropogenic change.
