The\u00a0ACTIAS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>project stemmed from the observation that large-scale studies of spatio-temporal patterns of terrestrial biodiversity are biased toward vertebrates and plants, leaving insects largely untouched at that scale.\u00a0Yet, insects are key organisms in ecosystems and their species and populations are severely impacted by global changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Large-scale biodiversity studies have built on the outstanding development in the recent past of infrastructures, methods and tools to manage and analyze very large datasets. \u201cBig Data\u201d analyses stimulated invaluable advances in the field of macroecology, biogeography and evolutionary biology, and have fueled better informed conservation policies in a world that we unfortunately now understand as entering what has been termed its \u201csixth extinction\u201d period.<\/p>\n
