All Fish catch data at the SAFE project 2011-2017.

Description:

All fish catch data of all methods across all streams sampled at the SAFE project, Danum Valley and surrounding oil palm areas. Please note this is the raw dataset and may contain errors that need correcting/editing. I have tried to correct the majority of errors, but all were corrected in seperate files prior to analysis, so please see specific datasets in relation to specific papers already published. All changes are detailed in the notes column or listed here if more general. All Rasbora caught in 2013 are labelled as cf. sumatrana as they were not differentiated from R. hubbsi. All Systomus changed to Barbodes. All Tor labelled as T. tambra, with no differentiation between tambra and tambroides.

Project: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: Composition and abundance of tropical freshwater vertebrate communities across a land use gradient

XML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here

Files: This consists of 1 file: ClareW_RawDataFish_with_Riparian.xlsx

Taxonomic coverage:
All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy. If a dataset uses a synonym, the accepted usage is shown followed by the dataset usage in brackets. Taxa that cannot be validated, including new species and other unknown taxa, morphospecies, functional groups and taxonomic levels not used in the GBIF backbone are shown in square brackets.
