note = "Funding Information: Within the scientific community, the value of data sharing is widely recognized (Parr 2007, Pullin and Salafsky 2010), and increasingly, institutions and journals require this practice. The National Science Foundation states that funded investigators are “expected to share with other researchers… the primary data, samples, physical collections, and other supporting materials” (www.nsf.gov/ bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp). Similarly, the Ecological Society of America expects authors publishing in its journals to “make the data underlying published articles available” (http://esapubs.org/ esapubs/journals/accepted.htm)andoffers a data registry to facilitate such communication and data sharing among scientists. The recently established Dryad (www.datadryad.org) is one such repository, and DataONE (www.dataone.org) is an example of a current push to develop best practices to facilitate data sharing among ecologists. However, these policies and data-sharing tools were primarily developed with professionals in mind and do not explicitly address independent naturalists{\textquoteright} situations. Such open data sharing is not necessarily a given for private data holders.",
