Museum records for "Determinants of genetic diversity in Neotropical salamanders (Plethodontidae: Bolitoglossini)"
<p>This dataset contains museum records for 59 species of Neotropical salamanders (tribe Bolitoglossini) from GBIF. These records were used to estimate the area of species' distributions as well as to extract climatic variability data for each species from Worldclim layers. After downloading the data from GBIF, we checked all records for each species against the species' known range and eliminated records outside the range or that were taxonomically misidentified.</p>

Opening the museum's vault: Historical field records preserve reliable ecological data
<p><span>Museum specimens have long served as foundational data sources for ecological, evolutionary, and environmental research. Continued reimagining of museum collections is now also generating new types of data associated with, but beyond physical specimens, a concept known as "extended specimens". Field notes penned by generations of naturalists contain first-hand ecological observations associated with museum collections and comprise a form of extended specimens with the potential to provide novel ecological data spanning broad geographic and temporal scales. Despite their data-yielding potential, however, field notes remain underutilized in research due to their heterogeneous, unstandardized, and qualitative nature. We introduce an approach for transforming descriptive ecological notes into quantitative data suitable for statistical analysis. Tests with simulated and real-world published data show that field notes and our transformation approach retain reliable quantitative ecological information under a range of sample sizes and evolutionary scenarios. Unlocking the wealth of data contained within field records could facilitate investigations into the ecology of clades whose diversity, distribution, or other demographic features present challenges to traditional ecological studies, improve our understanding of long-term environmental and evolutionary change, and enhance predictions of future change.</span></p>
