Descrição

ChromoDB is a curated database of chromosome counts for vascular plants compiled from published scientific literature. The dataset provides taxon names, accepted names when available, chromosome numbers expressed as n and/or 2n, geographic origin of the studied material when reported, bibliographic sources, and links to the corresponding ChromoDB records. This first GBIF release includes a selected subset of non-problematic records that have undergone taxonomic and bibliographic review. Additional information, updates, and extended contextual data are maintained in the ChromoDB web portal.

Cobertura Geográfica

The dataset has global geographic scope. Geographic information refers to the reported origin of the material studied in the original chromosome-count publications, when available. Records with unclear or problematic geographic origin are excluded from this first GBIF release.

Cobertura Taxonômica

This dataset covers vascular plants. The first GBIF release includes chromosome-count records for selected taxa whose names and bibliographic sources have been reviewed in ChromoDB.

Dados Sobre o Projeto

ChromoDB is an ongoing project aimed at compiling, curating, and publishing chromosome-count data for vascular plants from scientific literature.

Título ChromoDB
Identificador https://chromodb.net
Descrição da Área de Estudo The project focuses on chromosome-count data for vascular plants at global scale, based on published scientific literature.
Descrição do Design The dataset is based on bibliographic extraction, taxonomic review, data cleaning, and progressive validation of chromosome-count records. This first GBIF release includes only selected non-problematic records.

O pessoal envolvido no projeto:

Joan Simon

Métodos de Amostragem

Data were not generated through direct field sampling. Records were compiled from published chromosome-count studies and bibliographic sources. Each record corresponds to a chromosome-count report associated with a taxon, a reported geographic origin when available, and a bibliographic reference.

Área de Estudo The study area is global and taxonomic in scope, covering chromosome-count data for vascular plants reported in published scientific literature.
Controle de Qualidade Records included in this first GBIF release were selected after taxonomic and bibliographic review. Problematic records, unresolved names, unclear bibliographic sources, doubtful chromosome numbers, and records with insufficient information were excluded from this initial publication.

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. 1. Chromosome-count records were extracted from published scientific literature. 2. Taxon names were reviewed and linked to accepted names when possible. 3. Chromosome numbers were recorded as n and/or 2n according to the original source. 4. Geographic origin of the studied material was recorded when explicitly reported. 5. Bibliographic references were checked and standardized when possible. 6. Records considered problematic or insufficiently documented were excluded from this first GBIF release.

Metadados Adicionais

This GBIF dataset represents a standardized public release of selected ChromoDB records. The ChromoDB web portal may include additional fields, corrections, and more frequent updates than the GBIF-published version.

Descrição da manutenção The dataset will be updated progressively as additional ChromoDB records are curated, taxonomically checked, and bibliographically validated. The ChromoDB web portal may contain more frequent updates than the GBIF version.
