Data Tables

On this page we share data tables that can be used for the transcription of data lables from Malesian butterflies.

Geographic data

https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28053428

The geographic table was constituted from combining two large datasets, enrichening the data using Google API with open refine and on the fly adding locations while registerring specimens. The two main sources for the database were

• BRAHMS (the Naturalis database for plant specimen)
• CRS (the Naturalis database for animal specimen)
• locations were added on the fly using Google developers geocoder

Collector agents

open CSV with collector agents

These are the collector agent names that we came accross during the BSEAI project. 

Taxonomic data

Malesian butterfly (sub) species list

The table lists synonyms in the second column with the current accepted information in the other columns according to the source in the 15th culumn. ID codes in the first column were used in the BSEAI project as well as in the AI model.

The taxonomic dataset is based on several sources for the species and subspecies names and synonyms:

• Personal communication with Jan Moonen (Papilionidae)
• Personal communication with Chris Davenport (Delias, Parnassius & Colias)
• Personal communication with Rienk de Jong (Hesperiidae and other species from Malesian area)
• Lamas, G., C. Callaghan, M. M. Casagrande, O. Mielke, T. Pyrcz, R. Robbins and A. Viloria. 2004. Hesperioidea - Papilionoidea. Association for Tropical Lepidoptera/Scientific Publishers, Gainesville, Florida (Other families)
• Funet accessed from 2022 to 2024 for species names or synonyms that we found on specimen labels while registering our specimens and that were missing from the above lists.
