In the current context of biodiversity crisis, it is essential to understand where and how life is distributed. Using biodiversity data managed by the GBIF (>640 million occurrences) covering 24 taxonomic classes, I investigated one of the best-known biodiversity patterns: the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), which is characterized by an increase in specific richness as we approach the equator. This objective first led me to produce informatics tools for handling large amount of data (Big data paradigm), before evaluating the quality of primary biodiversity data. Two important outcomes resulted from this evaluation. First, I highlight that a strong taxonomic bias exists in biodiversity occurrences. This bias implies that some taxa are ...
