The multidisciplinary nature of biodiversity science requires that the QCBS foster research initiatives that cross the three primary research axes. Researchers involved on cross-axis research projects will seek to integrate the approaches of the different research axes to address topics of regional concern.
Cross Axis Theme 4.1: Biodiversity and human well-being
Cross Axis Theme 4.2 : Eco-informatics
The tools developed within this theme will link existing collection-based and publications-based sampling information, to geographical and historical data, as well as new genetic data. The research and tools developed will strongly encourage sharing and easy access of data. Newly developed eco-informatics tools will facilitate a wide array of research questions within and across themes and axes. It therefore encompasses and connect research interests in Axis 1, Axis 2 and Axis 3.
