What is even more encouraging is that we are also steadily increasing our two and seven card coverage as well, having moved from 57.2% to 57.6% and 21.1% to 21.3% respectively.
These may not sound very high, but they represent 5 and 3 pentads, which if you do the multiplication, means 10 and 15 submissions. I know that this does not necessarily mean that there were 25 submissions for these 8 pentads, but the assumption is that there could have been 25 cards submitted. In fact in the last two weeks we had 87 cards submitted. So in effect we are not only breaking new ground and increasing depth of coverage, but also targeting that depth fairly well.
In the last two weeks we have had 18 submissions which have contributed to the 'Cards-to-Green' effort. This has moved us from needing 2 361 cards, to 2 343. The only movement has been in the 3 and 4 cards needed categories, i.e. pentads that had no or only 1 card.
Looking at total submissions, we averaging 8.1 cards submitted per day. For the last two weeks we had a submission rate of 7.7 cards and 4.7 cards per day for the respective weeks. It would seem that the cold weather in the last week has really affected submissions. With the onset of spring we also experiencing higher species totals, with 56.1 and 50.3 spp/card in the last two weeks against 45.6 and 52.0 spp/card in the previous fortnight.
