Topic: Produce an IUCN category from occurrence data
Empirical methods of producing these categories (e.g. A Provisional Assessment of the Status of Acalyptratae flies in the UK are sure to give way to more observational methods over time as occurrences build up in the GBGs and/or our Recorder 6 databases. The reports and reassessments are repeated at 10 year intervals and I'm guessing the next ones will use digitised datasets extensively.
What I'm looking for is a method of producing a report (in R6 or using Gateway/Atlas) which performs the calculations and presents the data in such a way as to be usable to propose a Category (as detailed in IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria )
Some of it is clearly not feasible for taxa where abundance cannot me measured but site occupancy should be calculable.
This is not an entirely theoretical exercise even for LERC workers - presumably you use these reports for site management advice.
