Descrição

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.

Registros de Dados

Os dados deste recurso de ocorrência foram publicados como um Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), que é o formato padronizado para compartilhamento de dados de biodiversidade como um conjunto de uma ou mais tabelas de dados. A tabela de dados do núcleo contém 9.646 registros.

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.

Cobertura Geográfica

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

Coordenadas delimitadoras Sul Oeste [16,133, -112,647], Norte Leste [40,74, -78,174]

Cobertura Taxonômica

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.

Propósito 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.
Descrição da manutenção 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.
