2020-05-25 eng The Checklist of alien birds of Belgium is a species checklist dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains information on 244 alien birds species occurring or ever observed in the wild in Belgium since 1800 and is is a compilation of different sources: literature (e.g. scientific papers, reports), citizen science portals (e.g. observations.be, waarnemingen.be, the Belgian Rare Birds Committee http://www.belgianrbc.be) and online databases such as DAISIE (DAISIE 2000) or the Global Avian Invasions Atlas (Dyer et al. 2017). Here, the checklist is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each species: the scientific name, higher classification and stable taxon identifier (in the taxon core), the presence in Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region, as well as the year of the first introduction (first collection) and/or last assessment/observation in Belgium (given as a year range in the event date in the distribution extension), coarse habitat information (in the species profile extension), and the pathway(s) of introduction, native range(s) and degree of establishment in Belgium (in the description extension). The checklist can be used for research, to inform horizon-scanning exercises, to perform risk assessments of alien species, to compile regional and national registries of alien species, to feed biodiversity indicators etc. Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/trias-project/alien-birds-checklist We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the GBIF citation guidelines (https://www.gbif.org/citation-guidelines) when using the data. If you have any questions regarding this dataset, don’t hesitate to contact us via the contact information provided in the metadata or via opendata@inbo.be. This dataset was published as open data for the TrIAS project (Tracking Invasive Alien Species http://trias-project.be, Vanderhoeven et al. 2017), with technical support provided by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It is selected as one of the authoritative sources for the compilation of a unified and reproducible checklist of alien species in Belgium (Desmet et al. https://doi.org/10.15468/xoidmd). The compilation of the checklist was supported by the Short Term Scientific Mission Improving data flows for alien birds in Belgium and drafting a roadmap for alien species citizen science in Romania funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Alien CSI CA17122 - Increasing understanding of alien species through citizen science (https://alien-csi.eu/).

The dataset also includes information on the presence of a species in Flanders, Wallonia and/or the Brussels Capital Region (the three main political regions in Belgium). 2.53 6.41 51.51 49.49 1800-01-01 2020-12-31 In total, this dataset includes 244 alien bird species, covering 19 bird orders (45 bird families). Although some bird orders such as Anseriformes (67 species), Passeriformes (63 species), Psittaciformes (33 species) and Galliformes (19 species) traditionally contain many alien species, most recorded orders account for only few taxa. Only taxa at specific or subspecific level are included in the list. Species with populations of mixed origin (escaped and wild) in Belgium (e.g. barnacle goose Branta leucopsis, greylag goose Anser anser) were not considered true alien species and were excluded from the list. Also excluded are native species that are used for restocking (e.g. grey partridge Perdix perdix) or birds that might have popped up occasionally as escapes from collections but that also occur as rare migrants or occur as native breeders. kingdom Animalia animals class Aves birds asNeeded Tim Adriaens Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO)

The source data for this standardized checklist is a Google Spreadsheet, maintained by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO) and updated regularly at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ugsmAq_tlUjFmZef2zyw-mT0Tq1jSdPlNO4KTfJyXVo/edit?usp=sharing. We developed a RMarkdown script to document and perform the transformation of the data to Darwin Core, which includes the following steps: Download the source data to csv file that is versioned on a GitHub repository (https://github.com/trias-project/alien-birds-checklist). See https://trias-project.github.io/alien-birds-checklist for an introduction to this repository and the mapping of this dataset. Perform some basic data cleaning of the raw data. Generate stable and unique identifiers for each taxon (taxonID). Create a taxon core file (http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_taxon.xml), with information about the higher classification. Create a distribution extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/distribution.xml), including the cleaning of date information. Create a species profile extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/speciesprofile.xml), with coarse habitat information. Create a description extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/description.xml), with standardized pathway of introduction (using the pathway vocabulary from the Convention on Biological Diversity (2014)), native range (using the WGSRPD vocabulary from Brummitt (2001) where applicable), and degree of establishment (based on Blackburn et al. (2011)). The resulting Darwin Core data files are uploaded to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata. The dataset is published and registered with GBIF. Belgium Data for this checklist are compiled from different sources: literature, databases and citizen science portals. The dataset also includes information previously gathered for the state of biodiversity in Flanders (incl. De Bruyn 2005, De Bruyn et al. 2007, Dumortier et al. 2007 & 2008, Adriaens et al. 2010, Demolder et al. 2017). Data are added and verified by different people. The names of all contributors are included as authors of the checklist. See step description. Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS) Tim Adriaens 0000-0001-7268-4200 author Peter Desmet 0000-0002-8442-8025 author Quentin Groom 0000-0002-0596-5376 principalInvestigator Diederik Strubbe 0000-0002-2613-4985 author Sonia Vanderhoeven 0000-0002-6298-5373 author Imagine a future where dynamically, from year to year, we can track the progression of alien species (AS), identify emerging species, assess their current and future risk and timely inform policy in a seamless data-driven workflow. One that is built on open science and open data infrastructures. By using international biodiversity standards and facilities, we would ensure interoperability, repeatability and sustainability. This would make the process adaptable to future requirements in an evolving IAS policy landscape both locally and internationally. The project Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS) aims to do this for Belgium. For a full project description, see Vanderhoeven et al. (2017, https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.3.e13414). TrIAS is funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) call for Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks (BRAIN). Belgium. The project builds on two components: 1) The establishment of a data mobilization framework for alien species data from diverse data sources and 2) the development of data-driven procedures for risk evaluation based on risk modelling, risk mapping and risk assessment. TrIAS uses facilities from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, http://www.gbif.org), standards from the Biodiversity Information Standards organization (TDWG, http://www.tdwg.org) and expertise from the Open science lab for biodiversity (https://oscibio.inbo.be) to create and facilitate a systematic workflow. Alien species data are gathered from a large set of regional, national and international initiatives, including citizen science data, with a wide taxonomic scope from marine, terrestrial and freshwater environments. Observation data are funnelled in repeatable ways to GBIF. In parallel, a Belgian checklist of alien species is established, benefiting from various taxonomic and project-based checklists foreseen for GBIF publication.
