WHY MIGHT THE AMOUNT OF MOBILIZED DATA SPECIES COUNTS represent the number of binomial scientific DECREASE? names for which GBIF has received data records, organized as far Datasets are sometimes removed by publishers, but more often as possible using synonyms recorded in key databases like the decreases in the number of records are due to the removal of Catalogue of Life duplicate records and datasets. 4 | 6
