Description
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 18,896 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.

Sampling Methods
No Description available
Method step description:
- Occurrence records were derived from geotagged and annotated photographs taken by Marc Kummel. Metadata including taxon identification, date, and GPS coordinates were extracted from image sidecar files and compiled into Darwin Core format. Taxonomic names were verified against GBIF and relevant authoritative sources. Records were assigned unique occurrenceID values (UUID v4) and formatted for GBIF IPT submission.
