Like all statistical modelling techniques developed based on field data, they are prone to uncertainty due to bias in the sampling (e.g. identification, effort, detectability). In this study, we explicitly quantify and map the uncertainty derived from sampling effort bias. With that aim, we extracted data from the widely used GBIF dataset to map this semantic bias using cartograms.}, issn = {}, pages = {e12029}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e12029}, eprint = {https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e12029}, journal = {Research Ideas and Outcomes} }
