Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 126,614 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

The study area corresponds to continental area of Colombian territory, specifically reporting records for 821 localities distributed in 19 departments and 53 counties of the five natural regions of Colombia with exception to insular region (Archipelago of San Andrés and Providencia in the Caribbean Sea and Malpelo and Gorgona Islands in the Pacific Ocean).

Taxonomic Coverage

Records on 75 species of the class Mammalia, classified in 27 families and 10 orders (Ramírez-Chaves et al., 2016, 2021). The families with the highest number of recorded species were , Didelphidae (7 species), Felidae (6 species) and Cervidae (6 species). The families with the highest number of records were Dasyproctidae (38474 records), Cuniculidae (15878 records) and Didelphidae (12968 records). The most abundant species were Dasyprocta punctata (34822 records), Cuniculus paca (15312 records) and Didelphis marsupialis (9288 records). Designation to which ranks of taxa are reviewed with the current national list (Ramírez-Chaves et al., 2016, 2021) and validated with taxonomic national experts.

Temporal Coverage

Project Data

To advance in the update of the red list of mammals in Colombia, the Humboldt Institute identified and consolidated biological records of mammal species obtained by camera traps between 2013 and 2022, following the DwC standard.

Sampling Methods

We systematized and standardized the photo-trapping data collected in different studies that had not been published for the last 9 years. Finally, the information received was grouped in a database in Darwin Core format.

Method step description:

1. A final data set of mammal species was obtained from the following procedure: 1. The information was organized following the Darwin Core standard for the documentation of biological records. 2. Names were validated according to Burgin et al. (2020) and for species not included there, information available in portals such as the IUCN Red List (https://www.iucnredlist.org/), and the most updated species lists for the country (Ramirez-Chaves et al., 2016, 2021) were followed. 3. For the validation of the geographic information, the routines of the BioModelos program were used and records with erroneous georeferencing were eliminated. The names of the departments and municipalities were also adjusted according to the Divipola data Portal. All data processing was carried out in the software R
