Estimation of species sampling curves within Texan subbasins
Collecting events with background data for the Austin-Travis Lakes subbasin
- Allows for the user to discover periods of time when sampling effort was maximized
- Pinpoints collecting events when new species were found
- Naturally generates an asymptote when nearing the maximum species richness for a subbasin
Susbasins shaded by estimated sampling completeness
- Highlights subbasin most in need of sampling
- Red indicates subbasins that have the highest probability for new species to be found
- Blue indicates subbasins are calculated to be nearing or have reached the asymptote for species richness
- Empty areas indicate the calculation failed for that subbasin due to under-sampling or lack species diversity
Basin estimated to see a large increase in species richness with increased sampling effort
Basin estimated to have hit species richness asymptote
