Measuring insect-based biodiversity status in Africa [Draft]

This work describes a straightforward metric to measure biodiversity status measuring insect data.Here we combine a new index on the absence of human impacts with scale appropriate (in time and space) biodiversity richness information. Our metric does not rely on expert opinions and ecosystem-based biodiversity assessments. The metric can be practically implemented and is replicable given the availability of open access Earth Observation and citizen-science-based species occurrence data.
