This dataset includes all animal species endemic to Suriname or a part of Suriname. In most cases their distribution is restricted to a mountain range, or in case of fish to a single stream or single drainage area.Purpose
The purpose is to have a checklist of endemic species which can be used by the Atlas of Living Caribbean that is being developed.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The data was collected from many areas in Suriname.Sampling
This data was predominantly collected during expeditions, monitoring surveys or other research activities. In some cases the data was compiled from literature.Quality Control
In some cases the identification of specimens was rechecked by foreign experts.Method steps
- 1. Specimens that could not be identified to species are sampled and described. 2. When the specimen is proven to be a new species it's range will be determined. When it's range is restricted to only part of Suriname it is considered an endemic species for Suriname. 3. In some cases DNA Barcoding was used to determine the DNA sequence and genetic variation. Morphological variation is studied to determine endemism of the species. 4. The data of the positively identified endemic species was then compiled into a checklist.
Taxonomic Coverages
All endemic species were listed to species level or even subspecies level.
