I have been working on migratory butterflies and need to compare the geographic distribution of butterflies and where the migration is taking place. For this reason, I need to find out the distribution of a few hundred butterflies.
I know, GBIF can be a good resource, but I am unaware how to check more than 8-9 countries at once. Well, it's possible to go through the datasets; unfortunately, it will cost a lot of time to complete that way.
This is why I am looking for any kind of resource to actually find the complete distribution of butterfies around the world.
Hi Elia,
Thanks for your comment. I downloaded GBIF files in both ways they provide but unfortunately, both files look a bit messy and I couldn't really understand how to extract information. Could you please tell me, how did you collect country-specific information?
Thanks

Thanks a lot Elia. I think it wll take much longer to find country information from the excel sheet as opposed to look closely at the maps. I just need country information so I can collect country names from the map. In addition to this, Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is a great resource, you will have much information from there.
