AnthWest, occurrence records for wool carder bees of the genus Anthidium (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae, Anthidiini) in the Western Hemisphere

AnthWest is a large dataset, one of the outcomes of a comprehensive, broadly comparative study on the diversity, biology, biogeography, and evolution of Anthidium 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 Anthidium, including the invasive range of two introduced species from Eurasia, A. oblongatum (Illiger) and A. manicatum (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.
The data underpinning the analysis reported in this paper are deposited at GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/resource.do?r=anthidium.

AnthWest 是一项涵盖美洲地区大黄蜂属 (Anthidium Fabricius) 的多样性、生物学、生物地理学及进化等广泛比较研究的综合大型数据集。该数据集中记录了22,648条成年个体出现记录，其中包含9,657个独特事件，涵盖了92种大黄蜂物种，包括来自欧亚大陆的两种入侵物种：A. oblongatum (Illiger) 和 A. manicatum (Linnaeus)。数据集的地理空间覆盖范围从加拿大北部和阿拉斯加直至阿根廷南部，从美国加利福尼亚死亡谷的海平面以下至阿根廷图库曼的4,700米海拔。数据集中的大部分记录对应于作者在本项目中检查的个体标本的信息，并已存入位于非洲、欧洲、北美洲和南美洲的60个生物多样性收藏馆。其中，4.8%的出现记录来自文献资料，主要是关于加利福尼亚的物种分类处理，以及两种引入物种的一些额外记录。数据集的时间尺度代表了1886年至2012年间记录的采集事件。支撑本文所述分析的数据已存放在全球生物多样性信息设施 (GBIF)，可通过以下链接访问：http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/resource.do?r=anthidium。本数据集包含以下资源：
