Occurrence database of native plants and animals of south-central Chile

Citation

Fonturbel F, Lopez M (2019). Occurrence database of native plants and animals of south-central Chile. Version 1.2. Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/ofpcuv accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-05-13.

Description

This database contains occurrence information of native plant and animal species of south-central Chile (with emphasis in the Valdivian rainforest ecosystem). Data presented here correspond to live-trapping events, camera-trap monitoring and censuses conducted in different locations between 2007 and 2018.

Purpose

Make our biodiversity information open to anyone to re-use it.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

There are two main areas: in central Chile we have sampling sites nearby Santiago and at Las Chinchillas National Reserve. In southern Chile, we have 15 sampling sites between southern Bio Bio region up to the Palena Province (Los Lagos region).

Sampling

This database is based on three sampling approaches: live-trapping, camera-trap monitoring, and censuses.

Method steps

  1. (1) Live trapping. Live trapping procedures were conducted using wire-mesh traps (custom-made) as described in the references provided below. (2) Camera traps. Camera-trap monitoring was conducted using wire-mesh traps (custom-made) as described in the references provided below. (3) Plant and bird censuses were conducted using wire-mesh traps (custom-made) as described in the references provided below.

Taxonomic Coverages

Animal and plant species identified to the species level.
  1. Animalia
    common name: Animals rank: kingdom
  2. Plantae
    common name: Plants rank: kingdom
