Description

Arachnids data from articles, reports and papers in twelve west African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambie, Ghana, Guinée, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Sénégal and Togo.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Different regions and agroecosystems of these coutries

Sampling

Mobilization of Arachnids biodiversity data from scientific publications (articles, dissertations, reports).

Quality Control

After data entry, a taxonomic correction is made using the GBIF API software. For the geolocation of species, the geolocate software was used to determine the geographical coordinates.

Method steps

mobilization of data, extension of good practices in mobilizing and digitizing data on biodiversity and publication of data on GBIF portal.
