Links Related to the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI)

It is exciting to know that other parks and reserves besides Great Smoky Mountains National Park are in various stages of conducting their own ATBIs!
For the last few years, Discover Life in America (DLIA) has hosted meetings to bring together some of these ATBI programs to discuss shared goals, problems, successes, and future needs.
Below are links to ATBI sites, researchers, and volunteers web sites.
For more links to ATBI scientists doing researcher in the Park please visit the ATBI Conference Presentations and Taxonomic Working Group Research web pages.

Newly hatched spiders begin navigating their own web along the Huskey Gap Trail.
