Species occurrence database for the Gulf of California, described in Morzaria-Luna et al. 2018. Biodiversity hotspots are not congruent with conservation areas in the Gulf of California. Biodiversity and Conservation.

We generated a comprehensive database of existing species occurrence records for the Gulf of California by harnessing the expanded biodiversity informatics infrastructure and recently developed analytical tools for data processing. We obtained species occurrence points for all available taxa in marine and coastal areas in the Gulf of California within the polygon bounded by 32.139900, 20.164036 N and -115.142516, -104.95342. We gathered 286,533 occurrence records belonging to 12,105 unique species, including 6388 species identified as rare, 642 as endemic, and 386 as threatened. The records were used to identify biodiversity hotspots and determine the spatial congruence between current protected areas, and between priority areas selected through previous systematic conservation planning exercises. The R code used for the analysis is available from https://github.com/hmorzaria/biodiversity.Morzaria_et_al_GOC_biodiversity_recs.csv.

本研究依托扩展后的生物多样性信息学基础设施（biodiversity informatics infrastructure）与新近开发的数据处理分析工具，构建了加利福尼亚湾现存物种出现记录（species occurrence records）的综合数据库。本研究获取了该海湾海洋与沿海区域所有可获取类群的物种出现点位，研究区域的多边形边界为北纬20.164036°至32.139900°、西经104.95342°至115.142516°。本研究共收集到隶属于12105个独特物种的286533条出现记录，其中6388种为稀有物种（rare species），642种为特有物种（endemic species），386种为受威胁物种（threatened species）。该数据集被用于识别生物多样性热点区域（biodiversity hotspots），并探究当前保护区体系与既往系统性保护规划（systematic conservation planning）所遴选的优先保护区域之间的空间一致性。本研究使用的分析R代码及配套数据集可从https://github.com/hmorzaria/biodiversity获取，相关数据集具体包括：Morzaria_et_al_GOC_biodiversity_recs.csv（加利福尼亚湾地理参考（georeferenced）物种出现记录数据集）、Morzaria_et_al_GOC_endemic_species.csv（加利福尼亚湾特有物种地理参考记录数据集）、Morzaria_et_al_GOC_rare_species.csv（加利福尼亚湾稀有物种地理参考记录数据集）、Morzaria_et_al_GOC_threatened_species.csv（加利福尼亚湾受威胁物种地理参考记录数据集）。
