Biodiversity - SCAR EBA program
| |
| Description: | The biodiversity database holds terrestrial and freshwater Antarctic and sub-Antarctic flora and fauna in support of the SCAR Life Sciences programme EBA (Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic). For further details, see the EBA website. This database also holds marine data from the Australian Antarctic Programme. |

News
Updated SO-CPR data to 2005/06 - 30-May-2008
Two years of tows have been entered from Australian, New Zealand and Japanese vessels.
Antarctic data now available through GBIF - 16-Dec-2003
The Australian Antarctic Data Centre has become the first Australian Node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The purpose of GBIF is to make the world's primary data on biodiversity freely and universally available via the Internet. As of this date, the AADC has exposed over 320,000 records from the Biodiversity database to the GBIF portal. This currently makes the AADC the third highest contributor to GBIF.
AADC is a GBIF Data provider - 21-Nov-2003
Part of the seabirds at sea database as been registered as a resource with GBIF (www.gbif.org). This allows users around the world to extract data from this set using the GBIF Portal. OBIS (www.iobos.org) and the Census of Marine Life (CoML) will also be able to use the AADC as a data provider.
Task
Provide a distribution map for higher taxon overlaid with tourist visits
Provide a distribution map for higher taxon c overlaid with tourist visits to the Antarctic for the period 1960-1999.
List all co-occurrences of species
List all co-occurrences of species 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....n across the RiSCC region.
Provide cytochrome b sequences for mites
Provide cytochrome b sequences or parts thereof for all Antarctic mite species.
List all work on metabolic rate done for Antarctic springtails
List all work on metabolic rate done for Antarctic springtails (metadata request) and similar examples for virtually any kind of study that can be done.
Bibliographic search questions
bibliographic search questions such as list Bloggs, J. from 1956-1989.
Where do the three major brypophyte species occur
Where do the three major brypophyte species studied in the northern hemisphere by the ITEX program occur in Antarctica. This would mean cross-linking the bioDB or metadata with the ITEX system.
List attribute y for species x across all localities with abiotic data
List attribute y for species x across all localities and provide mean annual temperature, windspeed, and precipitation for each site.
List all plants for which population genetic data are available.
List all plants for which population genetic data are available.
List all families of plants common to x (x= 1...n) Antarctic sites.
List all families of plants common to x (x= 1...n) Antarctic sites.
List the locations where species x has been identified.
List the locations where species x has been identified. This could be reported as a tabulation (eg name, lat, long, alt, date, time, collector...)
List the indigenous and the introduced species, separately, from location x pre-date and post-date
List the indigenous and the introduced species, separately, from location x pre-date and post-date (e.g. 1960)
List the locations where observer x has identified species
List the locations where observer x has identified species
List all species observations within a minimum bounding rectangle
List all species observations within a minimum bounding rectangle
List attribute y for species x across all recorded localities
List attribute y for species x across all recorded localities (y could be = reproductive status or body size)
