Fig. 3.

Diseases explored in the studies according to the use of GBIF and the taxa class of the causal pathogen. In the right panel: positive studies (i.e., those studies that used GBIF-mediated data for at least one of the variables explored), negative studies in the left. Bars represent the number of studies exploring each disease, and filling colors represent the corresponding taxa class of the disease agent or causal pathogen (Purple scale, with lighter coloration for fungal diseases, followed by parasites, bacteria, and viruses with the darker purple). Abbreviations: the abbreviation Oth (Fungal Oth, Parasite Oth, Bacteria Oth, Virus Oth) represents a category with multiple species, merged to simplify the figure due to the low number of studies of each disease. Ricket-related: diseases related to Rickettsia species; Paras: parasites; Schistos: Schistosomiases; Leishm: Leishmaniases (both cutaneous and visceral); Dis: disease; Bact: bacteria; Fev: fever; V: virus; CoronaV: Coronavirus.
