Description

Invasive species - Chinese muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) in Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains information on 120 sampling events with 64 validated occurrences of invasive muntjac (M. reevesi) and native roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) starting from 2004. These occurrences mainly originate from casual observations or cullings of individuals. Here the dataset is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each event: a stable eventID, date and location of observation, and a short description of the sampling protocol (in the event core), supplemented with specific information for each occurrence: a stable occurrenceID, the scientific name and higher classification of the observed species, the number of recorded individuals, sex, life stage, and a reference to the observer and identifier of the record (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/data-publication/issuesWe have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the INBO norms for data use (https://www.inbo.be/en/norms-data-use) 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).

Couverture taxonomique

This survey reports on the occurrences of the invasive Chinese muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in Flanders in the wild. Chinese muntjac is listed as an invasive species of EU concern sensu the EU Regulation 1143/2014, which requires member states to prevent or manage its introduction and spread.

Données sur le projet

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).

Titre Tracking Invasive Alien Species (TrIAS)
Identifiant TrIAS
Financement TrIAS is funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) call for Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks (BRAIN).
Description du domaine détude / de recherche Belgium.
Description du design 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 LifeWatch INBO (http://lifewatch.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.

Méthodes déchantillonnage

Every observation is reported to the INBO through email (faunabeheer@inbo.be), by telephone or other means. A standard field observations form is provided in Casaer et al. (2015). This form includes: date, site name, name of the observer, location, hour of arrival at and departure from the site, weather conditions (temperature, wind, fog, cloud cover, rain), species information (muntjak or roe deer), sex, life stage (adult or juvenile), total amount of individuals observed or culled. This form is transmitted to the INBO and fed into the INBO survey database.

Etendue de létude This dataset contains validated observational data (observations, roadkill) of muntjac and roe deer in Flanders reported directly to the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). Observations were made by citizens or hunters. It also contains data from muntjac that are subject to a control campaign in Flanders under coordination of the Agency for Nature and Forest (ANB). This mostly involves coordinated shooting of muntjac from high seats.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. The source data for this standardized occurrences dataset is contained in the survey database of the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO).
  2. A SQL script was developed to extract and transform the data to Darwin Core. This mapping script was uploaded to a GitHub repository (https://github.com/inbo/data-publication/tree/master/datasets/invasive-muntjak-occurrences/scr) and includes the following steps:
  3. Perform some basic data cleaning of the raw data
  4. Generate stable and unique identifiers for each event (eventID) and occurrence (occurrenceID)
  5. Create an event core file with all sampling events whether or not the target species was observed (http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_event_2016_06_21.xml)
  6. Create a occurrence extension file (http://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_occurrence_2015-07-02.xml)
  7. The resulting Darwin Core views are connected with the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
  8. The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
