DecASO: Decapod Crustaceans of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

The Collection of Decapod Crustaceans of the Southwestern Atlantic (DecASO) is a dataset generated and maintained by the Zoology-Invertebrates Laboratory, based on the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the National University of Mar del Plata (FCEyN, UNMdP) and the Institute of Marine and Coastal Research (IIMyC) of the National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET) of Argentina.
The current version of this dataset provides only the occurrence information of the specimens available in the biological collection of the same lab at the time of its publication, with a total of 319 specimens. This collection is part of a larger and continuously developing project on crustacean diversity of the southwestern Atlantic, so it is expected to be updated periodically as the number of records in the collection increases significantly, or as new projects are added.
The final version of this dataset will provide 1) a full and updated list of decapod species recorded in the Southwestern Atlantic, combined with 2) the updated occurrence data from specimens available in the reference biological collection, and 3) the link to the available genetic sequences generated from that material as part of a series of genetic barcoding projects.
The checklist of species upon the biological collection is being built comes from an exhaustive review of the available bibliography, and reflects with minimal modifications what was published in the "Annotated catalogue and bibliography of marine and estuarine shrimps, lobsters, crabs and their allies (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Argentina and Uruguay (Southwestern Atlantic Ocean)" (URI: https://ri.conicet.gov.ar/handle/11336/121964; URL:http://ctmfm.org/revista/30/volumen-26/).
The specimens and their genetic sequences were mainly obtained by the Laboratory of Invertebrate Zoology during several campaigns and projects carried out since 2000 to date (although some records may be older). Most specimens in the dataset are part of the DecASO collection, currently housed in the Biology Department of the FCEyN-UNMdP. In cases where there were no available specimens for a particular species in DecASO, the dataset refers to preserved specimens from public collections elsewhere, either donated from DecASO itself or collected independently by third parties. In the latter case, taxonomic identification is the responsibility of the holders of these specimens and has not been confirmed by the curators of this collection. Genetic barcoding data have also been mostly obtained by the Laboratory of Zoology-Invertebrates (IIMYC, FCEyN/UNMdP-CONICET), within the framework of IBOL-CONICET projects XXXX and XXXV. As with preserved specimens, where there are no sequences generated by this very project, openly available data from third parties are referred to. Note that in these cases, the original rights and permissions of each source must be applied.
The projects that have contributed to the conformation of this collection in addition to those funded by IBol were: 2016- Grant Project Executing Unit Project PUE 22920160100011CO D. 2555/16 CONICET, 2018- Grant CONICET-Bunge Born to consolidate collections RESOL-2018-2094-APNDIR#CONICET, 2018- Grant "Management and Quality of Biodiversity Data. Introductory course in digitization projects of the National Biological Data System MINCyT, IIMyC own funds, and funds from grants of the involved Researchers.

《南大西洋甲壳类动物藏品集（DecASO）》乃由阿根廷国家马尔德尔帕塔国立大学精确与自然科学学院（FCEyN, UNMdP）的无脊椎动物学实验室及国家科学和技术研究委员会（CONICET）海洋与海岸研究学院（IIMyC）共同编纂与维护之数据集。该数据集之现行版本仅提供发布时实验室生物藏品中标本的分布信息，总计319种标本。此藏品集系一项关于南大西洋甲壳类动物多样性的更大规模、持续发展项目之组成部分，故随着藏品记录数量的显著增加或新增项目的加入，预计将定期更新。最终版本的数据集将提供以下内容：1）南大西洋记录的甲壳类物种的完整且更新后的清单；2）来自参考生物藏品中标本的更新分布数据；3）作为一系列遗传条形码项目一部分，由该材料生成的可用遗传序列的链接。生物藏品中的物种清单是通过详尽审查现有文献编纂而成，并对《阿根廷和乌拉圭海域（南大西洋）海洋与河口虾、龙虾、蟹及其近缘种（甲壳类：十足目）的注释目录与书目》中所发布内容进行了最小程度修改（URI：https://ri.conicet.gov.ar/handle/11336/121964；URL：http://ctmfm.org/revista/30/volumen-26/）。标本及其遗传序列主要是由无脊椎动物学实验室在2000年以来进行的多次考察和项目中获得（尽管一些记录可能更为久远）。数据集中的大多数标本均为DecASO藏品的一部分，目前存放于FCEyN-UNMdP的生物学系。在DecASO中无该物种可用标本的情况下，数据集引用了来自其他公共收藏机构的保存标本，这些标本可能由DecASO捐赠或由第三方独立收集。在后一种情况下，物种的分类鉴定责任由标本持有者承担，并未经本藏品馆员确认。遗传条形码数据也主要是由FCEyN/UNMdP-CONICET的动物学-无脊椎动物实验室（IIMyC）在IBOL-CONICET项目XXXX和XXXV的框架内获得。与保存标本一样，在无本项目中生成的序列时，引用了第三方公开可用的数据。请注意，在这些情况下，必须应用每个来源的原始权利和许可。除IBol资助的项目外，还有以下项目为该藏品集的形成做出了贡献：2016年-CONICET项目执行单位项目PUE 22920160100011CO D. 2555/16，2018年-CONICET-Bunge Born资助的用于巩固藏品的项目RESOL-2018-2094-APNDIR#CONICET，2018年-“生物多样性数据管理与质量。国家生物数据系统数字化项目入门课程”MINCyT资助项目，IIMyC自有资金以及相关研究人员所获资助的资金。
