Martin,
Also from me many thanks for your intense work and interest and
producing the GBS summaries. You have addressed many questions for a great
variety of species. While in many cases it was very difficult to say why there
was a given pattern in the distribution/abundance of a species, you could
highlight that nothing stays the same and patterns are very dynamic. What held
true 20 years ago may no longer be true today. You have made everyone very aware
of the great value of the GBS data set and its value will only grow as years are
added.
Best wishes and thanks go also to Duncan for taking on the task of
GBS coordinator.
