An introduc+on to TrIAS work package 2: Data mobiliza+on framework Peter Desmet TrIAS kick-off mee+ng - Feb 13, 2017

The goal of the data mobiliza+on framework is to create data products that will be used in further work packages. This includes datasets rela+ng to the presence of AS in Belgium (checklist and occurrence data) for which major sources in Belgium will be published to GBIF, and environmental predictors needed for spa+ally explicit risk modelling and mapping (global and CORDEX-derived climate (change) data, habitat and land-use layers). The framework also comprises the tools and documenta/on to compile from the published checklists a unified AS checklist for Belgium, use this to query and download occurrence data from GBIF, and process these to feed further analysis (WP3 & WP4). From the proposal

2.1 - Alien species checklist 2.2 - Occurrences 2.3 - Climate data & future scenarios (by Bert Van Schaeybroeck) Three tasks

Alien species checklist

Which species are alien in Belgium?

Let’s check the Alien species checklist for Belgium

We don’t have one! And certainly not one that is unified, verified & standardized

We do have A number of authorita+ve checklists with a more specialized scope

7 checklists •  Manual of Alien Plants (BGM, Verloove 2006, Verloove 2013) •  Harmonia informa+on system (BBPF, Vanderhoeven et al. 2015) •  World Register of Introduced Marine Species (WRIMS) (VLIZ, Pagad et al. 2016) •  Registry of non-na+ve species in the Two Seas region countries (GB, FR, BE & NL) (RINSE) (INBO, Gallardo et al. 2013, Zieritz et al. 2014, Gallardo et al. 2016) •  Non-indigenous freshwater fish (INBO, Verreycken et al. 2007) •  Alien freshwater invertebrates (UGent, Boets et al. 2016) •  Terrestrial Mollusca (RBINS, from EASIN 2015)

Together these comprise the most complete source for alien species info in Belgium

Publish each checklist as an open Darwin Core Archive

Occurrences

Where are the alien species in Belgium?

Data are scagered over many different places (or unavailable)

But there’s lots out there and it keeps growing every day

•  NGOs –  Natuurpunt –  Natagora •  Regional administra+ons –  INBO –  ILVO –  SPW-DEMNA •  Collec+ons –  BGM –  RBINS •  Former AS related projects –  Invaxen –  DIARS (incl. VITO) –  Inplanbel (incl. ULg) –  Ensis –  MEMO –  Alien Impact (incl. UCL) •  Non-TrIAS partners •  GBIF Sources of occurrence data

Together these comprise the most complete & up-to-date source for alien species occurrences in Belgium

Publish each source as an open Darwin Core Archive

Occurrences Authors & metadata

Standards, documenta+on, tools & support

Can be republished for updates

Build a unified occ. dataset through a repeatable protocol

Each occurrence is linked to the Backbone taxonomy

All data available via API

Open source script to query & download occurrence data using our unified checklist

Single occurrence dataset usable in further work packages
