Description

We document here the occurrences of invasive species uploaded to the InvBasa platform. This platform was created for the registration of alien and invasive species occurrences in Colombia. The project was born as a response to the problematic introduction of Basa fish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)to the Magdalena river basin in Colombia. Researchers from the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales (ICN) and Fundación Humedales documented this problematic and together with the Biodiversity Informatics Program of the ICN, developed the platform and mobile app. Invbasa´s goals are to register direct observations of alien species in the field by citizen scientists.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Colombia

Sampling

Each citizen scientist creates a user account on their mobile phone and contribute to the data of species distribution that they encounter in the field. The GPS smartphone print in the photo the location of the registry to decide each occurrence location and the next step is to send the photo to the InvBasa project the registry.

Quality Control

The control quality is based in two stages, the first is the geographical control where we check the valid coordinates of the registry and the second is check or assign the taxonomic identity

Method steps

When the server receives each registry of occurrence, the first step is the revision of the taxonomic classification by the InvBasa team. The team also checks that the geographical information lies within the countries boundaries and when the occurrence is approved, it is published on the website, so it becomes available to the general public.

Taxonomic Coverages

All the registries are identified to the lowest possible taxon that is species, however, the fishes of the Cichlidae family that came from Africa were identified until genus.

Plantae
rank: kingdom
Animalia
rank: kingdom
Magnoliopsida
rank: class
Actinopterygii
rank: class
Pulmonata
rank: order
Anura
rank: order

Geographic Coverages

The occurrences of alien and invasive species in Colombia came mainly from 12 departments and the area of the special district of Bogotá.
