Description
El Herbario de la Universidad de Málaga (Herbario MGC) está constituido por cuatro colecciones biológicas. La colección de plantas vasculares (MGC Cormof) es la colección principal del herbario. La base de datos MGC-Lichen tiene como objetivo la digitalización y publicación de los datos asociados con los más de 356 ejemplares depositados en la colección, de los cuales el 91,8% de las muestras se encuentran identificadas a nivel de especie.Desde 2011, los Servicios Centrales de Investigación (SCAI) de la Universidad de Málaga son responsables de mantener el herbario y sus respectivas bases de datos.La colección está digitalizada a través del programa Herbar v3.7.1 (F. Pando et al. 1996-2011), estando la información de los especímenes accesibles a través de la red de GBIF (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/96c13882-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a).La colección MGC-Lichen está formada por 24 familias, siendo Parmeliaceae (29,5 %), Physciaceae (13,9 %) y Pertusariaceae (11,9 %) las mejor representadas. En conjunto son 54 géneros incluyendo 107 especies y 110 taxones (incluyendo categorías infraespecíficas). Por su abundancia destacan los géneros Pertusaria (11,9 %), Parmelia (6,5 %) y Physconia (6,5 %).El 70% de los pliegos proceden de la provincia de Málaga en el sur de España, en su mayoría de la Sierra de las Nieves y Sierra Bermeja. Casi todo el 30% restante, proceden de la Sierra de Grazalema en la provincia de Cádiz.La revista Acta Botanica Malacitana (B. Cabezudo 1975-) (http://www.biolveg.uma.es/abm/abm.html) está estrechamente relacionada con el herbario MGC y periodicamente publica artículos que están basados en datos incluidos en su colección. The herbarium of University of Málaga (MGC Herbarium) is formed by four biological collections. The vascular plants collection (MGC-Cormof ) is the main collection of the herbarium. MGC-Lichen dataset aims to digitize and publish data associated with over 356 specimens deposited in the collection, of which 91.8% of the specimens are identified at species level.Since 2011, the University of Malaga’s Central Research Service (SCAI) has been responsible for maintaining the herbarium and their datasets.The collection is digitized by Herbar v3.7.1 software (F. Pando et al. 1996-2011), making over specimens accessible through the GBIF network (http://www.gbif.org/dataset/96c13882-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a).MGC-Lichen collection contain 24 families, Parmeliaceae (29.5 %), Physciaceae (13.9 %) and Pertusariaceae (11.9 %) being the most important. There are 54 genera, which contain 107 species and 110 taxa (including infraspecific categories). Main genera in order of abundance are Pertusaria (11.9 %), Parmelia (6.5 %) and Physconia (6.5 %).Seventy percent of sheets are from Malaga province at Southern Spain, mainly from “Sierra de las Nieves” and “Sierra Bermeja”. Almost the whole 30% rest is from “Sierra de Grazalema” at Cadiz province.
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 356 records.
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
The plants of this collection were mainly gathered by researchers of the Botany Area of the Department of Plant Biology at University of Malaga, as well as by members of the herbarium.
| Study Extent | The lichens of this collection are from Malaga and Cadiz province at Southern Spain (Andalusia). |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Every specimen of the MGC-Lichen collection has been identified by researchers of the Botany Area of the Department of Plant Biology at University of Malaga.The dataset is analysed in search of digitalisation errors before uploading to the GBIF Portal. This check is carried out by the DarwinTest v3.2 tool (Ortega-Maqueda and Pando 2008), provided by the Spanish GBIF Node. This tool looks for mistakes in taxonomy, dates, geospatial information, collectors, identifiers, etc. |
Method step description:
- Before incorporating new plants in the herbarium, the steps described below are followed. First, the material is dried and put in an envelope (14.8 × 10.5 cm) which perfectly cover and protect the specimen. On each envelope, an identification label provides the following information: taxonomy, country, province, county, locality, georeference, date, ecology, collectors and determinations. To kill any insects contained in the sheets, they are frozen at -20 °C for 72 hours. Periodically, the herbarium room is fumigated. The specimens are kept in compact shelving cabinets and alphabetically arranged by families, genera and species.
