AnthWest, occurrence records for wool carder bees of the genus Anthidium (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae, Anthidiini) in the Western Hemisphere
<p>AnthWest is a large dataset, one of the outcomes of a comprehensive, broadly comparative study on the diversity, biology, biogeography, and evolution of <em>Anthidium</em> Fabricius in the Western Hemisphere. In this dataset a total of 22,648 adult occurrence records comprising 9,657 unique events are documented for 92 species of <em>Anthidium</em>, including the invasive range of two introduced species from Eurasia, <em>A. oblongatum</em> (Illiger) and <em>A. manicatum</em> (Linnaeus). The geospatial coverage of the dataset extends from northern Canada and Alaska to southern Argentina, and from below sea level in Death Valley, California, USA, to 4,700 m a.s.l. in Tucumán, Argentina. The majority of the records in the dataset correspond to information recorded from individual specimens examined by the authors during this project, and deposited into 60 biodiversity collections located in Africa, Europe, North and South America. A fraction (4.8%) of the occurrence records were taken from the literature, largely California records from a taxonomic treatment with some additional records for the two introduced species. The temporal scale of the dataset represents collection events recorded between 1886 and 2012.</p> <p>The data underpinning the analysis reported in this paper are deposited at GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, <a href="http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/resource.do?r=anthidium">http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/resource.do?r=anthidium</a>.</p> <div><br>Resources in this dataset:</div><br><ul><li><p>Resource Title: AnthWest, Occurrence Records for Wool Carder Bees of the Genus Anthidium (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae, Anthidiini) in the Western Hemisphere (Data Dictionary).</p> <p>File Name: meta.xml</p><p>Resource Description: The data dictionary for the Darwin Core Archive of AnthWest. </p></li><br><li><p>Resource Title: Darwin Core Archive.</p> <p>File Name: dwca-anthidium-v7.0.zip</p><p>Resource Description: Zip file includes database field name definitions (meta.xml); also includes the data paper (eml.xml), and occurrence data (occurrence.txt, tab-separated ).
