Data in Brief
|June 8, 2018
Summary
Researchers converted 10,385 Aquamaps Native Distributions into NetCDF files. This creates accessible, standardized species distribution data, improving biological research efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Ecology
- Environmental Science
- Biodiversity Informatics
Background:
- Biological and environmental research requires extensive species distribution data.
- Efficient data access and standardized formats are crucial for research workflows.
- Current data formats often necessitate significant preparation, hindering rapid analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To convert the Aquamaps Native Distributions dataset into a standardized, usable format.
- To enhance the accessibility and reusability of species distribution models.
- To reduce data preparation time for ecological and biological research.
Main Methods:
- Conversion of 10,385 species distribution models from Aquamaps.
- Standardization of data into NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) files.
- Creation of self-describing, portable habitat datasets.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive collection of 10,385 species distribution models is now available in NetCDF format.
- The new format ensures data portability and self-description.
- Facilitates direct usage and integration into data processing workflows.
Conclusions:
- The NetCDF conversion significantly improves the usability of Aquamaps data.
- This initiative supports faster and more efficient ecological and biodiversity research.
- Standardized environmental and species distribution data are vital for scientific advancement.

01:21Layers of the Epidermis
8.5K
The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, is composed of several distinct layers. From deep to superficial, the layers of the epidermis are as follows:
Stratum Basale
Stratum basale, also known as the stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of actively dividing cells called basal cells or basal keratinocytes. These cells constantly undergo cell division to replenish the upper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, melanocytes, which...

01:31Formation of Species
45.3K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

02:16Solution Formation
37.9K
There is no one solvent that can dissolve every type of solute. Some substances that readily dissolve in a certain solvent might be insoluble in a different solvent. A simple way to predict which substances dissolve in which solvent is the phrase "like dissolves like". This means that polar substances, such as salt and sugar, dissolve in a polar substance like water. In contrast, non-polar substances are more soluble in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride.

In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

02:37Standard Enthalpy of Formation
49.3K
Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...
