The extensive African Rodentia specimen and tissue collections of the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) and the University of Antwerp (UA) provide taxonomical, ecological, geographical and genetic information, as well as measurements and data on parasitic and viral infections. The scientific importance of these collections is that, although numerous African rats and mice have been described over the last 150 years, many species descriptions are based on very few specimens.

El DICTUS mantiene la colección de peces nativos de Sonora que incluye la totalidad de la representación de los peces nativos y exóticos del Estado. A pesar de ser nodo de la REMIB, esta colección no se ha computarizado e incorporado a este nodo. La colección representa el 6% con respecto al territorio nacional. Está ordenada bajo la clasificación de Eschmeyer (1998). Se encuentra arreglada de acuerdo a números de catálogo progresivos por especie por localidad a lo largo del tiempo. La colección cuenta con mas de 35,000 ejemplares repartidos en 1000 registros. Las recolectas datan desde los años 1960 hasta el presente y se encuentran mantenidos en frascos de cristal en alcohol etílico al 70%. Cuenta con registro de recolectores, números de individuos, fechas y observaciones de recolecta, localidades georreferenciadas, autoridad y fecha de determinación. La Colección de Peces Nativos de Sonora mantiene las 64 especies que habitan actualmente las aguas continentales del Estado de Sonora, y las extirpadas de territorio nacional. Los peces nativos comprenden 43 especies registradas a largo de recolectas iniciadas a finales del siglo antepasado hasta la actualidad. Casi el 67% de los peces que habitan en Sonora son nativos, el restante 33% son peces introducidos con fines acuiculturales, de ornato y de control biológico. Sonora representa el 8.9% de las especies de peces nativos del país y el 19.5, 33.3 y 38.8% de los géneros, familias y órdenes a nivel nacional. Dentro de las especies con distribución actual para Sonora, el 53.48% se encuentra incluido bajo alguna categoría de protección de acuerdo a la NOM-059-2002. Ocho están en especies en peligro de extinción, sin embargo 7 de ellas ya han sido extirpadas de territorio nacional. Como amenazadas se encuentran 11 y como Sujetas a Protección especial. Tres especies son endémicas dentro de los límites del estado, sin embargo, Sonora comparte un número importante de endemismos restringidos a las provincias biogeográficas Sonorense, Madrense y Sinaloense. Este proyecto pretende computarizar la colección de peces nativos de Sonora, poner a disposición y dar permanente actualización a la información de la colección a través del Nodo de la REMIB que mantiene en DICTUS.

The bird collections of the Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD), as the other vertebrate collections, were mainly originated at the beginning and later consolidation of the Institute during the sixties and seventies. First of all, they are the result of the interest in comparative anatomy and biogeographic studies of the two first directors of the EBD Prof. JA Valverde and Prof. J Castroviejo. They promoted and led several biodiversity projects that were carried out world-wide and helped fulfil the necessity of reference systematic material, hardly accessible in Spain at that time. The bird collections are of outstanding scientific interest not only because of the volume of specimens housed in (more than 30.000) but also because of the areas represented in its high taxonomic diversity (about 1500 species belonging to 130 families) and finally, because it holds good series of unique species. The geographic areas covered by the collections are: Palaearctic (mainly Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Western Sahara), Aethiopic (Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Islands of the Gulf of Guinea, Angola, Gabon and Ehiopia) and Neotropics (Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico). Finally, of exceptional importance are the holdings of extremely rare species such as the Spanish Imperial eagle (Aquila adalberti), in a unique series in the world that gives a special character to the collections of the EBD. The dataset currently available on GBIF.ES is one part of the mammal collection, and include the following families: PODICIPEDIDAE, TINAMIDAE, GAVIIDAE, RHEIDAE, STRUTHIONIDAE, CASUARIIDAE, DROMAIIDAE, DIOMEDEIDAE, PROCELLARIIDAE, HYDROBATIDAE, PHAETHONTIDAE, SULIDAE, PHALACROCORACIDAE, ANHINGIDAE, ARDEIDAE, SCOPIDAE, CICONIIDAE, THRESKIORNITHIDAE, PHOENICOPTERIDAE, ANHIMIDAE, ANATIDAE, CATHARTIDAE, ACCIPITRIDAE.

Note: this dataset was previously orphaned. It has been rescued by ① extracting it from the GBIF.org index (see GBIF Download in External Data) and ② republishing it on this IPT data hosting centre as version 1.0.

This database contains information on the algae specimens registered so far in the herbarium of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.

This dataset originally held 5 647 442 total records, where 34% of the records corresponded to germplasm accessions and 66% to herbarium samples. A total of 3 231 286 records had cross-checked coordinates (see Figure 2). 322 735 records were newly georeferenced using The Google Geocoding API and 15 713 new records were obtained after digitizing the information contained in herbaria specimens. Data was gathered from more than 100 data providers, including GBIF (a comprehensive list of institutions and individuals is available here: http://www.cwrdiversity.org/data-sources/ ).

The geographic coverage of the dataset includes 96% of the world countries and also includes records of cultivated plants (1/3 of the dataset). Records of the crop wild relatives of 80 crop gene pools can be queried and visualized in this interactive map: http://www.cwrdiversity.org/distribution-map/

This dataset was assembled as part of the project ‘Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: Collecting, Protecting and Preparing Crop Wild Relatives’, which is supported by the Government of Norway. The project is managed by the Global Crop Diversity Trust and the Millennium Seed Bank of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and implemented in partnership with national and international genebanks and plant breeding institutes around the world. For further information, please refer to the project website: http://www.cwrdiversity.org/

For publication to GBIF, all records originally gathered from GBIF have been removed to avoid data duplication.

Data set about the annual monitoring of the effect of herbivorism on the conservation status of endangered species Androcymbium europaeum. Since 2010, the SERPAM Department (Evaluation, Restoration and Protection of Mediterranean Agrosystems Service) of the Zaidin Experimental Station belonging to Spanish National Research Council (CSIC-EEZ), has been carrying out annual sampling to evaluate the effect of domestic and wild livestock (eg. rabbits) on the pastures inhabited by Androcymbium europaeum. A randomized block design with three treatments (type of management: rabbit and domestic herbivorism; only excluded to livestock; and excluded to rabbit and livestock) was performed. In each treatment, two types of monitoring were carried out: abundance estimation of A. europaeum by counting individuals on 50 x 50 cm squares; and plant species diversity in 2-m long transects using the modified Point-Quadrat method. This study was carried out in the "Rambla de las Amoladeras" (Almería) within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar protected area (southern Spain). The dataset describes information from 2010 to 2022. Monitoring is performed annually.

A checklist providing patches to the automatically assembled GBIF backbone taxonomy.
Names and their classification in this list will take precedence over other backbone sources,
thus allowing small manual interventions in the backbone building process.
The list is hosted on github allowing for wider collaboration outside of the secretariat.
Names in this checklist should be removed once they appear in other trusted checklists.
When adding new names into this list all entries should be assigned some remarks why this
name exists and ideally a link to some other online resource via dc:references.

The Herbarium contains well over 82,000 catalogued plant specimens. Overall geographic content of the Herbarium is approximately as follows: Texas, 24%; New Mexico, 22%; other USA, 32%; Mexico, 7%; other world, 15%. Herbarium materials at UTEP that are of special interest include an extensive representation of the floras of the desert mountain ranges of southern New Mexico and western Texas partially from a thorough floral survey and inventory across an east-west transect running from the Guadalupe/Davis Mountains of Texas to the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona; voucher samples of specimens from which nectar samples were collected for the nectar chemistry research of C. E. Freeman and W. H. Reid; a seed collection, representing more than 800 species of mostly Southwestern taxa with individual samples mounted on slides and cross-indexed to their source sheets in the main herbarium collection; a cryptogamic collection in excess of 650 specimens, predominately lichens and mosses from various areas in southwestern North America, with significant collections of local specimens used for baseline data in studies by R. D. Worthington and his students on air pollution effects in the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez area; a synoptic collection from White Sands National Monument, representing survey work performed by W. H. Reid during the early 1970's.

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) indexes thousands of biodiversity datasets from Natural History Collections, citizen science initiatives (e.g., iNaturalist, eBird), and other sources. As part of the index process, GBIF associates at least two identifiers with indexed records: a record id (aka gbifID) and a dataset id (aka dataset key). These ids are central to do lookup, reference data, and package interpreted data products.

This publication contains an exhaustive list of GBIF IDs and ids associated by their data providers as derived from:

This resource was initially created to help integrate with Bionomia (https://bionomia.net) to help associate people identifiers provided by bionomia to their original records via their GBIF ids. Bionomia re-uses GBIF records ids as a way to define links between records and the people (e.g., curators, collectors, identifiers) that worked on them.

In other words, this resource provides a versioned translation table from the GBIF data universe (as defined by GBIF record ids, and dataset keys) to the data collections that exist (and evolve) independent of it.

We mined the information of an exhaustive standardized historical survey developed in 628 localities across Spain between 1574 and 1582 (Relaciones Topográficas de Felipe II) with the goal of producing a rigorous national inventory of the socio-economic status and natural resources of Spanish settlements. The survey includes records of plant and animal species, both wild and domestic. We were able to collate 7,309 records for 75 wild plant taxa, 89 wild animal taxa, and 60 crop and domestic animal taxa. These data can be used to reconstruct historical land use and habitat cover, and model historical distributions of many species, including emblematic ones such as wolf and bear, which can establish reference distributions to assess range and niche expansion, contraction and shifts.

El Herbario de la Universidad de Málaga (Herbario MGC) está constituido por cuatro colecciones biológicas activas de pliegos de herbario. La colección de plantas vasculares (MGC-Cormof) constituye la colección principal del herbario. Su base de datos tiene como objetivo la digitalización y publicación de los datos asociados a los más de 95.000 ejemplares depositados actualmente, de los cuales el 97,8% están identificados a nivel de especie.

Desde 2011, la Unidad de Herbario depende de los Servicios Centrales de Apoyo a la Investigación (SCAI) de la Universidad de Málaga, que son responsables de su gestión y de sus bases de datos. La colección crece de forma continua, con una media anual de unas 2.500 incorporaciones.

El 99% de la colección está digitalizada mediante el programa Elysia v3.0 (Pando et al., 2025), por lo que prácticamente todos los especímenes son accesibles a través de la red GBIF (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/962cceea-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a).

En la actualidad, MGC-Cormof incluye 247 familias y 8.274 taxones, distribuidos en angiospermas (92,28%), helechos y afines (6,46%) y gimnospermas (1,27%). Las familias y géneros más representados son Compositae, Gramineae, Leguminosae, Labiatae, Caryophyllaceae, Teucrium, Silene, Asplenium, Linaria y Quercus.

La mayoría de los especímenes proceden del Mediterráneo occidental, fundamentalmente del sur de España (96% de los ejemplares, de los cuales el 85,5% corresponden a Andalucía) y del norte de Marruecos (2%). Aproximadamente, el 72,2% de las muestras cuentan con coordenadas geográficas.

La identificación ha sido realizada mayoritariamente por personal del Departamento de Biología Vegetal de la Universidad de Málaga, estando un 36% de los ejemplares revisados por especialistas en taxonomía. La base de datos MGC-Cormof ha superado controles de calidad mediante DarwinTest v3.3 (Pando et al., 2022) y verificaciones ad hoc, cumpliendo con los estándares Darwin Core exigidos por GBIF.

Los datos de las colecciones del Herbario MGC son relevantes para estudios de conservación, taxonomía, flora, cartografía, fenología y palinología, entre otros. El Herbario MGC es uno de los herbarios de referencia para Flora iberica (Castroviejo, 1986–2021), Flora Vascular de Andalucía Oriental (Blanca et al., 2009), Flora Briofitica Iberica (Guerra 2006-) y Flora Phycologica Iberica (Gómez-Garreta 2000-). Además, la revista Acta Botanica Malacitana (Acta Botanica Malacitana, 1975–) publica regularmente artículos basados en datos de la colección.

The Herbarium of the University of Málaga (Herbarium MGC) is composed of four active biological collections of herbarium sheets. The vascular plant collection (MGC-Cormof) constitutes the main collection of the herbarium. Its database aims to digitize and publish the data associated with the more than 95,000 specimens currently deposited, of which 97.8% are identified to species level.

Since 2011, the Herbarium Unit has been under the responsibility of the Central Research Support Services (SCAI) of the University of Málaga, which oversee its management and databases. The collection continues to grow steadily, with an annual average of around 2,500 new accessions.

Ninety-nine percent of the collection has been digitized using the software Elysia v3.0 (Pando et al., 2025), which makes virtually all specimens accessible through the GBIF network (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/962cceea-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a). Currently, MGC-Cormof includes 246 families and 8,786 taxa, distributed among angiosperms (92.28%), ferns and allies (6.46%), and gymnosperms (1.27%). The most represented families and genera are Compositae, Gramineae, Leguminosae, Labiatae, Caryophyllaceae, Teucrium, Silene, Asplenium, Linaria, and Quercus.

Most specimens come from the western Mediterranean, mainly from southern Spain (96% of the specimens, of which 85.5% correspond to Andalusia) and northern Morocco (2%). Approximately 72.2% of the samples are georeferenced.

Identifications have been carried out mainly by staff of the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Málaga, with 36% of the specimens revised by taxonomic specialists. The MGC-Cormof database has passed quality controls using DarwinTest v3.3 (Pando et al., 2022) and ad hoc verifications, complying with the Darwin Core standards required by GBIF.

The data from MGC Herbarium collections are relevant for studies on conservation, taxonomy, flora, mapping, phenology, and palynology, among others. Herbarium MGC is one of the reference herbaria for Flora iberica (Castroviejo, 1986–2021), Flora Vascular de Andalucía Oriental (Blanca et al., 2009), Flora Briofitica Iberica (Guerra 2006-) and Flora Phycologica Iberica (Gómez-Garreta 2000-). In addition, the journal Acta Botanica Malacitana (Acta Botanica Malacitana, 1975–) regularly publishes articles based on data from the collection.

The Florida State Collection of Arthropods is worldwide in scope. Earlier accumulations, primarily from Florida and the southeastern United States, still form a large portion of the collection; however, most insect groups have worldwide representation, with particular strengths for circum-Caribbean and South American regions. In recent years much new material has been obtained, through surveys or exchanges, from the Neotropics, parts of Africa (especially South Africa) and Asia (especially Indonesia and Taiwan). Among the 22,400 drawers of pinned insects, 352,000+ slides, and 294,200+ vials of the Museum of Entomology, are an estimated 9 million prepared specimens including over 2,500 primary and at least 30,000 secondary types. Millions more specimens are in the estimated 20,000 bulk alcohol containers and various dry samples from around the world. These, together with the other holdings, place the FSCA among the top 10 North American entomological collections.
