description: Chesshire et al. 2023. scientific publication [1] used and referenced three GBIF mediated occurrence download queries [2,3,4] and associated data. However, in their GBIF records indicate that the data associated with the three download queries are slated for removal at any point after 2021-08-03 . This publication explicitly references the DOIs associated with [2,3,4] and documents the provenance of their associated meta-data records. The provenance was captured using Preston [5,6], a biodiversity dataset tracker. The signed citation of this provenance publication can be derived from: <pre><code class="language-bash">preston history\ --anchor hash://sha256/9e3ca96d94229e20f47c14efaa59f793845aa37d9f6c698d2dd35876705e9feb\ --remote https://zenodo.org/record/7849559/files</code></pre> <pre><code>&lt;hash://sha256/f2d8bdaec7a416a0039e9398cf07c6fa69083f64a6f22de3f252ebb5dd4fd412&gt; &lt;http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom&gt; &lt;hash://sha256/c457565ea0cec7b0392f1271fcda08440919f03bbf29bb8df1eb926c78a972cc&gt; . &lt;urn:uuid:0659a54f-b713-4f86-a917-5be166a14110&gt; &lt;http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion&gt; &lt;hash://sha256/c457565ea0cec7b0392f1271fcda08440919f03bbf29bb8df1eb926c78a972cc&gt; .</code></pre> And their tracked content include, as obtained via <pre><code class="language-bash">preston alias\ --anchor hash://sha256/9e3ca96d94229e20f47c14efaa59f793845aa37d9f6c698d2dd35876705e9feb\ --remote https://zenodo.org/record/7849559/files</code></pre> Tracked content associated with hash://sha256/9e3ca96d94229e20f47c14efaa59f793845aa37d9f6c698d2dd35876705e9feb content location content relation content id https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.6cxfsw http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/6b8b5f79af53dee98c3654b945389628194c9e9f0ad610852327574b3f99ff7a https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.b9rfa7 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/a74cfe8a6c6b7d2361f41cc04979c262b5fbba60c0992253ae78fe6d31f414bb https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.w2nndm http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/6a587a219e78ff2674fbb54d99fed48c21b77bc46608d8f991e79ee06a547fac https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0182006-200613084148143 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/1c5d8a7399793a634a0dde32f3a94ccf64199f010d7f93baa422c2e1dbb98b2f https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0182032-200613084148143 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/23d7c875420bea71d24c1ec3ba127f91eff5b368744de14824de0fc4fc090bb2 https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0182076-200613084148143 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/6555d581e0ce75c77740811e547da726297d02369b149893faf531f132a2aff0 https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0182006-200613084148143 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/2c4c4f4cd1151bc65394466416b066c19422fe22b8eb64c5c144fb7889ea2f16 https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0182032-200613084148143 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/e4e9742259e9232c773ab157e34af1cfebfd09050effb49c15db032057fc5750 https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0182076-200613084148143 http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/20915d475c63fa6f96ab127ff5efb5554df40208596244349d110432b478168b https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0182006-200613084148143.zip http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/d14a14e549e3caa8965daecad6fcb0cfddd4be12fb78a495b248c380df41db9b https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0182032-200613084148143.zip http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/3fc1b6491813f5d7e2d32b7c6cadb1ae60558f31a4489e23735c43bd74ed4db6 https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0182076-200613084148143.zip http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion hash://sha256/7ddea84a67329ec8eea389d09798e5b6d60d86c39b975590f117679cdbbe8e20 This data publication, and associated tracked content, can be cloned using: <pre><code class="language-bash">preston clone https://zenodo.org/record/7849559/files</code></pre> <br> Note that the original publication dated 2023-04-03 did *not* include the associated tracked data retrieved from https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0182006-200613084148143.zip, https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0182032-200613084148143.zip, https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request/0182076-200613084148143.zip.
