■委内瑞拉遭受了严重的学术和研究管理危机,海洋研究和数据管理的资金机会几乎没有。在过去的五年里,这种情况恶化了,因此,图书馆和其他机构空间一再遭到破坏,有数百条记录,标本和历史数据被盗,被摧毁或烧毁。为了避免委内瑞拉生物多样性不可替代的数据丢失,推动了一项倡议,旨在将信息数字化以创建丰富的生物多样性记录数据集,重点是国家的海洋保护区,以及填补委内瑞拉海洋生物多样性分布和状况的空白。该国专注于海洋科学的机构一直以标本收集的形式提供有关委内瑞拉海洋生物多样性的大量信息,通过数百名研究人员和学生的工作,未发表的抽样数据和研究论文。根据国家生物多样性数据动员赠款和生物多样性信息促进发展方案,对这些国家机构的可用数据来源进行了清点,以及全球生物多样性信息基金(GBIF)的支持。所有恢复和处理的数据集均发布在海洋生物多样性信息系统(OBIS)和全球生物多样性信息设施(GBIF)存储库中。
■这次事件数据收集是对委内瑞拉海洋生物多样性清单的重大贡献。它基于许多已发表的论文,reports,专家提供的书籍和清单,涵盖了我们从中获得物种出现(存在和不存在)的广泛的分类学集合,组织成59个数据集,包含40881条记录。这对向OBIS报告的委内瑞拉海洋生物多样性记录(截至2022年11月,OBIS中的143,513条记录)贡献了28.49%。提取的数据显示3,041种海洋物种,六个王国的代表:动物,Chromista,细菌,植物,真菌和原生动物。数据集提供了自1822年以来发生的信息,扩大了委内瑞拉物种发生清单的时间覆盖范围,该项目成立于1879年。与项目前可用的数据相比,委内瑞拉的记录数量增加了41.3%。大多数事件(63.47%)是在海洋保护区登记的。数据收集包括非本地物种的记录,在不同的IUCN类别下列出的新物种和物种的描述。
UNASSIGNED: Venezuela has suffered a severe academic and research management crisis and funding opportunities for marine research and data management have been practically absent. This has worsened over the past five years and, as a result, libraries and other institutional spaces have been repeatedly vandalised, with hundreds of records, specimens and historical data stolen, destroyed or burned. To avoid the loss of irreplaceable data on Venezuelan biodiversity, an initiative was promoted, aimed at digitising information to create a rich dataset of biodiversity records, with emphasis on marine protected areas for the country, as well as to fill gaps in the distribution and status of marine biodiversity in Venezuela. Nighteen (19) institutions in the country focusing on marine science have consistently produced a wealth of information about Venezuela\'s marine biodiversity in the form of specimen collections, unpublished sampled data and research theses through the work of hundreds of researchers and students. An inventory of available data sources at these national institutions was conducted under the National Biodiversity Data Mobilization Grant and the Biodiversity Information for Development Program, together with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) support. All recovered and processed datasets were published in the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) repositories.
UNASSIGNED: This occurrences data collection represents a major contribution to the marine biodiversity inventory in Venezuela. It is based on numerous published papers, reports, books and checklists provided by experts, covering a broad taxonomic collection from which we obtained species occurrences (present and absent), organised into 59 datasets containing 40,881 records. This represents a 28.49% contribution to the records of the Venezuelan marine biodiversity reported to the OBIS (143,513 records in the OBIS until November 2022). The extracted data showed 3,041 marine species, with representatives of each of the six kingdoms: Animalia, Chromista, Bacteria, Plantae, Fungi and Protozoa. The datasets provide information on occurrence since 1822, extending the temporal coverage of the species occurrence inventory for Venezuela, which was established in 1879 before this project. The number of records for Venezuela increased by 41.3% compared with the data available before the project. Most of the occurrences (63.47%) were registered in Marine Protected Areas. Data collection included records of non-native species, descriptions of new species and species listed under different IUCN categories.
