Hi Rui, if you're interested we also published a checklist of rust fungi recently using the resource relationship extension (https://www.gbif.org/dataset /b043c480-dd36-4f4f-aa82-e188753ff09d). I total agree with you about the importance of species interactions. I'm glad GBIF has some plans for this. We have an interactions workshop at this year's TDWG meeting and I hope we will hear more about approaches to this problem. Quentin
