Sampling Methods

Original observations are recorded with identification of species, observation date, spatial locations, individual counts, life stage, gender, temperature, humidity, and the name of the recorder. Some individuals were captured and measured, with measurement data (body length, body width) provided in the Measurement or Fact extension.

Study Extent Occurrence records in this dataset are mainly from Taiwan and its main surrounding islands, with a few records collected in US and Japan.

Method step description:

  1. For spatial locations without coordinates, we assigned the coordinates by rounding to the nearest land mark based on the information in the location fields, and provided an estimate of spatial uncertainty in the uncertaintyInMeters field.
