Rare Species in Atlantic Canada and Adjacent Marine Waters (OBIS Canada)
Entry ID:
obis.accdc
Summary
Abstract:
The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre (ACCDC) collects data on rare
species and natural communities in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador and in adjacent marine waters. To determine which species are rare, the ACCDC develops sub-national (i.e. provincial) rarity ranks, or S-ranks, for each jurisdiction. These ranks are ...  Purpose: These data are for display on the OBIS portal and associated mapping programs and for download to personal computers for ad-hoc end-user analysis. OBIS schema concepts present in the data set include: DateLastModified, InstitutionCode, CollectionCode, CatalogNumber, ScientificName, BasisOfRecord, Citation, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, ScientificNameAuthor, Collector, YearCollected, Country, State, County, Locality, Longitude, StartLongitude, EndLongitude, Latitude, EndLatitude, CoordinatePrecision.

Quality
Species identification accurate, assessment of species rarity is done with
local species experts and is as accurate as possible given the current state of species information. Occurrence location data for populations of rare species of anadromous fish and marine birds are included for a jurisdiction (an Atlantic province plus Labrador) only if the species is determined to be rare in that jurisdiction. Data for occurrences of rare species of marine mammals is included for the Bay of Fundy only. Data are usually requested by species or by location (e.g., at a given locale or within a specified area, the identification of all rare species present)
