Citation

Smith B, Vamosi J (2018). University of Calgary Herbarium - Lycophytes and Monilophytes. Version 6.5. University of Calgary Herbarium. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.5886/g3bvas9p accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-07-05.

Description

The University of Calgary Herbarium (UAC) includes an extensive collection of land plants from Alberta, Canada and around the world (~90,000 specimens). The current dataset includes records of the Lycophytes and Monilophytes in the collection.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Most specimens were collected in Alberta, Canada

Sampling

Label information of pressed specimens in the University of Calgary Herbarium was databased. If coordinates were given, they were converted to decimal degrees. Verbatim location records were georeferenced with Google Earth.

Method steps

  1. Georeferencing steps were as follows: (1) If coordinates were given (e.g., UTM), they were converted to decimal degrees. (2) Verbatim location records were georeferenced with Google Earth; (3) An estimate of the uncertainty was made based on the size of the circumference of area where the specimen could reasonably have been collected.

Taxonomic Coverages

Monilophytes and Lycophytes
  1. Monilophyta
    common name: Ferns and allies rank: subphylum
  2. Lycophyta
    common name: Lycophytes rank: subphylum
