Presentation SPIPOLL: Variations in insect diversity.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Spipoll project aims to collect data on pollinating and flower-visiting insects to analyze variations in their diversity across metropolitan France. Launched in 2010, it focuses on studying pollination networks, which include interactions between plants and insects, as well as among different flower visitors. The project ensures data quality through structured protocols, emphasizing precision, repeatability, and representativeness. It balances protocol-based and opportunistic observations, leveraging metadata to make data more accessible and useful.Led by the National Museum of Natural History, Opie, and the French Biodiversity Office, this collaborative project is open to everyone, regardless of their level of expertise in natural sciences. By integrating citizen participation with robust data management, Spipoll advances biodiversity research and participatory science. The presentation was prepared as part of a training day of the ASDOST-CitSci project.
