In these times, it is rare that those who study Natural History are presented with an opportunity to take a global look at the diversity of any taxonomic group. This is extremely regrettable given this approach has been employed to such great advantage in centuries past by numerous distinguished naturalists, including, for example, Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, whose discoveries ultimately served as the foundation of disciplines such as Evolution, Ecology, Biogeography, and Biodiversity, to name just a few. The demands and time restrictions of contemporary academia are among the factors contributing to the decline in such global work today, but the situation is exacerbated by limitations in funding. Based on the enthusiasm we experienced over the course of this project from all corners of the world, the decline is most decidedly not, the result of a lack of interest!
