Tab and comma delimited versions of Discover Life bee species guide and world checklist (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila)

<p><span><em><strong>Introduction</strong></em></span></p> <p>This archive includes a tab-delimited (tsv) and comma-delimited (csv)&nbsp;version of the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?act=x_checklist&amp;guide=Apoidea_species">Discover Life bee species guide and world checklist </a>(Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila). Discover Life is an important resource for bee species names and this update is from Draft-55, November 2020. Data were accessed and transformed into a tsv file&nbsp;in August 2023&nbsp;using <a href="https://www.globalbioticinteractions.org/">Global Biotic Interactions</a> (GloBI) <a href="https://github.com/globalbioticinteractions/nomer">nomer</a> software. GloBI now incorporates the Discover Life bee species guide and world checklist in its functionality for searching for bee interactions.</p> <p><span><strong>Update! New Dataset also includes Subgenera Names</strong></span></p> <p>A new, tab-delimited version of the Discover Life taxonomy as derived from Dorey et. al, 2023 can be found via Zenodo at <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10463762">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10463762</a>.

Coordinates and checklists of alien species populations as obtained from the DASCO workflow and the SInAS data set

<p>This data set contains coordinate records of alien (i.e., non-native) species populations worldwide and aggregated checklists of alien species for individual regions. The regions consists of non-overlapping polygons representing countries, sub-national or coastal marine ecoregions.&nbsp;</p><p>The data set was produced by applying the DASCO workflow (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5841930) using the SInAS database (version 2.5; https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10038256). The workflow imports checklists of alien species such as those stored in SInAS, and extracts coordinates for the alien regions (according to SInAS) from GBIF and OBIS. After cleaning and thinning the coordinates, the workflow exports a list of coordinates of alien populations for all species included in SInAS and with records on GBIF or OBIS.</p><p>These files are part of a manuscript published in the journal Neobiota, where the workflow is described in detail (Seebens &amp; Kaplan 2022, https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.74.81082).</p><p>DASCO_AlienCoordinates_SInAS_2.5.gz contains the coordinates of alien populations.</p><p>DASCO_AlienRegions_SInAS_2.5.csv contains the checklists of alien species per region. Note that this only includes species with GBIF and OBIS records. For more comprehensive checklists, other databases such as those listed here (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10038256) should be consulted.</p><p>OBIS_SpeciesKeys_SInAS_2.5.csv contains the species keys from OBIS.</p><p>GBIF_SpeciesKeys_SInAS_2.5.csv contains the species keys from GBIF.</p><p>DASCO_TaxonHabitats_SInAS_2.5.csv contains habitat information for individual species if available from WoRMS, Fishbase or Sealifebase (used to identify marine species).</p><p>The file DASCO_ListOriginalGBIFData_keys_SInAS_2.5.csv contains the DOIs of the originally downloaded files from GBIF, which provides the basis for the generation of the GBIF part (ie. the DASCO workflow was applied to these data sets from GBIF). Note that OBIS does not provide a DOI for downloads, and thus we cannot provide this.</p>

Country Compendium of the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species: Standardization to Records in World Flora Online or the World Checklist of Vascular Plants

<p>The <strong>Country Compendium of the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS)</strong> is a collation of data across 196 individual country checklists of alien species, along with a designation of those species associated with evidence of impact at a country level.
