The table below represents monthly iDigBio portal use statistics for this recordset. Search indicates in how many instances a record from this recordset matched a search query. Download indicates in how many instances a record from this recordset was downloaded. Seen indicates in how many instances a record from this recordset appeared (visually) in the search results in a browser window. Records Viewed and Media Viewed indicate how many specimen and media records were opened and viewed in full detail. Note: Monthly statistics aggregation began on Jan 15th 2015; therefore, the month of (01 / 2015) represents approximately half a month of statistics reporting.
