A census of penguin colony counts (provided to OBIS) from the year 1900 to 1996 in the Antarctic Region

This dataset is a census of penguin colony counts from the year 1900 in the Antarctic region. It forms part of the Inventory of Antarctic seabird breeding sites within the Antarctic and subantarctic islands. The Antarctic and subantarctic fauna database (seabirds) is a database detailing the distribution and abundance of breeding localities for Antarctic and Subantarctic seabirds. Each species' compilation was produced by members of the SCAR Bird Biology Subcommittee. This separate metadata record has been created beacause it represents only the penguin colony counts that have been published to OBIS. Note: The Year (not day or month) date is only relevent in this dataset. The positions that have been published to OBIS include latitude and longitude positions that were not included within the original dataset. The latitude and longitude positions that were not noted by the observer have been created from the locality given by the observer using the Antarctic Composite Gazetteer.Two spreadsheets are available for download, from the URL given below. The original, unmodified spreadsheet is available, as well as a corrected spreadsheet. In the corrected spreadsheet, the AADC has attempted to reconcile the poorly presented localities into a single column. It is possible that some of these localities may not be correct.The fields in this dataset are: SCAR NumberSpeciesRegionLocalityLongitudeLatitudeNumber of ColoniesNumber of PairsType and accuracy of countData DateReferencesRemarksThese data are further referenced in ANARE Research Notes 9 - see reference below.

本数据集为1900年南极地区企鹅繁殖种群数量普查成果，隶属于《南极及亚南极岛屿南极海鸟繁殖地名录》。南极及亚南极动物数据库（海鸟类）是一套详实记录南极与亚南极海鸟繁殖分布区域及种群丰度的专业数据库，各物种类别的汇编工作由南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）鸟类生物学小组委员会成员完成。本元数据记录为独立条目，仅收录了已向海洋生物地理信息系统（OBIS）公开的企鹅种群繁殖地数量数据。
注意事项：本数据集仅标注年份（无具体日、月信息）；已向OBIS公开的点位包含原始数据集未收录的经纬度坐标；观测者未记录的经纬度坐标，系根据观测者提供的采集地信息，通过《南极综合地名录》生成。
本次提供两个可通过下述URL下载的电子表格：一份为未经修改的原始表格，另一份为校正版表格。在校正版表格中，澳大利亚南极数据中心（AADC）尝试将格式混乱的采集地信息整合至单列中，部分采集地信息可能存在误差。
本数据集包含以下字段：SCAR编号、物种、区域、采集地、经度、纬度、繁殖群数量、繁殖对数量、调查类型与精度、数据日期、参考文献、备注。
