title: GBIF animal distribution in Spain

description: CSV that contains 1.000 GBIF observations of animals than have been involved in wildlife–vehicle collision on interurban roads in Spain and a buffer of each species distribution calculated with these data. If you are interested in the whole country, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will forward it to you. Each record describes the observation by the following fields: <strong> gbifid: </strong>the unique identifier for an occurrence record in GBIF. <strong> datasetkey: </strong>the local dataset id within the GBIF network. <strong> occurrenceid: </strong>a unique identifier for the occurrence, allowing the same occurrence to be recognized across dataset versions as well as through data downloads and use. <strong> kingdom: </strong>the full scientific name specifying the kingdom that the occurrence's scientific name is classified under. <strong> phylum: </strong>the full scientific name of the phylum or division in which the taxon is classified<strong>.</strong> <strong> class: </strong>the full scientific name of the class in which the taxon is classified. <strong> order: </strong>the full scientific name of the order in which the taxon is classified. <strong> </strong><strong>family: </strong>the full scientific name of the family in which the taxon is classified. <strong> genus: </strong>the full scientific name of the genus in which the taxon is classified. <strong> species: </strong>species classification key. <strong> infraspecificepithet: </strong>the name of the lowest or terminal infraspecific epithet of the scientificName, excluding any rank designation. <strong> taxonrank: </strong>the taxonomic rank of the supplied scientific name. <strong> scientificname: </strong>the full scientific name of the organism, to the lowest level taxonomic rank that is possible to supply, and including authorship and year of the name where applicable. <strong> verbatimscientificname: </strong>the taxonomic rank of the most specific name in the scientificName as it appears in the original record. <strong> verbatimscientificnameauthorship: </strong>non described. <strong> countrycode: </strong>a two-letter standard abbreviation for the country of the occurrence locality. <strong> locality: </strong>the specific description of the place. <strong> stateprovince: </strong>the name of the next smaller administrative region than country (state, province, canton, department, region, etc.) in which the Location occurs. <strong> occurrencestatus: </strong>a statement about the presence or absence of a Taxon at a Location. <strong> individualcount: </strong>to record the quantity of a species occurrence, e.g. as the number of individuals, percentage of vegetation coverage, or the biomass . <strong> publishingorgkey: </strong>the publishing organization key (a uuid). <strong> decimallatitude: </strong>the geographic latitude, resp., in decimal degrees. <strong> decimallongitude: </strong>the geographic longitude, resp., in decimal degrees. <strong> coordinateuncertaintyinmeters: </strong>the horizontal distance from the given decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude in meters, describing the smallest circle containing the whole of the Location. <strong> coordinateprecision: </strong>a decimal representation of the precision of the coordinates given in the decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude. <strong> elevation: </strong>elevation (altitude) in meters above sea level. Supports range queries. <strong> elevationaccuracy: </strong>non described. <strong> depth: </strong>depth in meters relative to altitude. For example 10 meters below a lake surface with given altitude. Supports range queries. <strong> depthaccuracy: </strong>non described. <strong> eventdate: </strong>the date or date interval during which the occurrence record was collected, following ISO 8601 date-time standard. <strong> day: </strong>the integer day of the month on which the Event occurred. <strong> month:</strong> the integer month in which the Event occurred. <strong> year: </strong>the four-digit year in which the Event occurred, according to the Common Era Calendar. <strong> taxonkey: </strong>a taxon key from the GBIF backbone.<strong> </strong> <strong> specieskey: </strong>species classification key. <strong> basisofrecord: </strong>the type of the individual record, e.g. observation, physical specimen, fossil, living ex-situ, culture collection specimen. <strong> institutioncode: </strong>the name (or acronym) in use by the institution having custody of the object(s) or information referred to in the record. <strong> collectioncode: </strong>the name, acronym, coden, or initialism identifying the collection or data set from which the record was derived. <strong> catalognumber: </strong>an identifier (preferably unique) for the record within the data set or collection. <strong> recordnumber: </strong>an identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded. Often serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen collector's number. <strong> identifiedby: </strong>a list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups, or organizations who assigned the Taxon to the subject. <strong> dateidentified: </strong>the date on which the subject was determined as representing the Taxon. <strong> license: </strong>a machine-readable statement of the rights assigned to the published dataset. <strong> rightsholder: </strong>a person or organization owning or managing rights over the resource. <strong> recordedby: </strong>the name of the institution or organization listed as the data publisher on GBIF.org. <strong> typestatus:</strong> a list (concatenated and separated) of nomenclatural types (type status, typified scientific name, publication) applied to the subject. <strong> establishmentmeans: </strong>The process by which the biological individual(s) represented in the Occurrence became established at the location. <strong> lastinterpreted: </strong>this date the record was last modified in GBIF, in ISO 8601 format: yyyy, yyyy-MM, yyyy-MM-dd, or MM-dd. <strong> mediatype: t</strong>he kind of multimedia associated with an occurrence as defined in GBIF MediaType enum <strong> issue:</strong> a specific interpretation issue as defined in GBIF OccurrenceIssue enum. <strong> geom (geometry):</strong> geometry from latitude and longitude position. Developed for this project. <strong> buff (geometry): </strong>buffer around 'geom' taking into account 'coordinateuncertaintyinmeters' and 'coordinateprecision'.<strong> </strong>Developed for this project. The context is the Final Master's Degree Project 'Analysis and Predictive Modelling of Wildlife–Vehicle Collision on Interurban Roads in Spain' (Data Science Master’s Degree of Universitat Oberta de Catalunya - UOC). This dataset is the output of the animal analysis and the code repository is available on GitHub.
