Description

The Aquifer Biodiversity Collection is a physical repository and digitized data for preserved animals collected from groundwater and groundwater-dependent habitats, primarily in Texas, with smaller numbers of taxa from Mexico and other U.S. states. Lots are primarily ethanol-preserved invertebrate specimens, especially Crustacea, with smaller numbers of vertebrates and soft-bodied organisms (e.g., Gastropoda, Annelida, Nematoda, Cnidaria) often only identified at a coarse taxonomic level. In addition to ethanol preserved specimens (mostly 95%), the collection includes slide-mounted specimens and some ethanol preserved specimens in freezers at 0°C. Lots include collections from 1965 through the present, from springs, seeps, caves, wells, spring runs, rivers (especially the hyporheic zone) and ciénegas. The Edwards Aquifer Research and Data Center is an aquifer ecology research center, water-quality analysis lab, and education program within the College of Science and Engineering at Texas State University, San Marcos Texas.

Enregistrements de données

Les données de cette ressource occurrence ont été publiées sous forme d'une Archive Darwin Core (Darwin Core Archive ou DwC-A), le format standard pour partager des données de biodiversité en tant qu'ensemble d'un ou plusieurs tableurs de données. Le tableur de données du cœur de standard (core) contient 9 646 enregistrements.

Cet IPT archive les données et sert donc de dépôt de données. Les données et métadonnées de la ressource sont disponibles pour téléchargement dans la section téléchargements. Le tableau des versions liste les autres versions de chaque ressource rendues disponibles de façon publique et permet de tracer les modifications apportées à la ressource au fil du temps.

Couverture géographique

Collection is primarily from groundwater and groundwater-dependent habitats in Texas, with smaller numbers of samples from other U.S. states and Mexico.

Enveloppe géographique	Sud Ouest [16,133, -112,647], Nord Est [40,74, -78,174]

Couverture taxonomique

Crustacea is well-represented in the collection, with Malacostraca most often identified to the genus or species level. Soft-bodied taxa (e.g., Annelida, Nematoda, Cnidaria) often identified only at Phylum or Class, except for some Annelida and Gastropoda (e.g., Cochliopidae). Chordata represented only by Eurycea species.

Remerciements	Data digitization was supported in-part through a grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department under 2023 State Wildlife Grant F22AF03325-00. Research was supported by the US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center under Grant W81EWF-20-SOI-0018
Objet	The purpose of the Aquifer Biodiversity Collection is to support the mission of the Edwards Aquifer Research and Data Center: promoting understanding and stewardship of groundwater and groundwater-dependent systems. The Aquifer Biodiversity Collection was established to provide a repository for the collections of current and previous Edwards Aquifer Research and Data Center staff and collaborators, thereby organizing groundwater community data linked to well-curated physical specimens. The collection and associated data are organized and shared to encourage and facilitate taxonomic, ecologic, evolutionary, and conservation research of groundwater organisms in Texas and beyond.
Description de la fréquence de mise à jour	Collections data are currently uploaded to GBIF as a .csv file through the VertNet IPT. Maintenance is anticipated only when a substantial number (i.e. 1000s) of new occurrences are added to the collections or if systemic errors are detected.
