Pili A (2019). DAYO: Invasive Alien Amphibians in the Philippines. Version 1.4. HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc.. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/o24m0j accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-08-25.Description
The dataset comprises of occurrence data (400+ data points as of December 2018) on five fully invasive (category “E”) alien amphibian species (Class Amphibia: Order Anura: Eleutherodactylus planirostris; Hoplobatrachus rugulosus; Hylarana erythraea; Kaloula pulchra; Rhinella marina ) in the Philippines obtained from published and unpublished scientific literature, personal observations of experts, and from selected Natural History Institutions. The dataset was published and will be updated biannually by HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc.
The development of this dataset was made possible through project of HerpWatch Pilipinas, Inc. (HWP), in collaboration with the Biodiversity Management Bureau of the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Rersources (BMB-DENR) and The University of Santo Tomas – Biodiversity, Ecology, Systematics, and Taxonomy Group (BEST): “Alien Amphibians and Reptiles, a Threat to Philippine Biosecurity: Developing a National Invasive Alien Amphibian and Reptile Species Inventory and Occurrence Database and an Observation and Monitoring System” Project (BIFA03_26) funded by the Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan.
Purpose
In addition to filling taxonomic, geographical, and historical gaps in alien amphibian invasions in the Philippines, the project, with this dataset as one of the outputs, is expected to produce the much needed science-based information that can help guide the development and implementation of sound national biosecurity programmes for amphibian invasions, contribute to the Philippines’ international commitments to sustainability and biodiversity conservation.Taxonomic Coverages
