Descripción
This dataset contains 318 occurrence records of specimens belonging to the order Aranae, which are part of the Chelicerata Collection of the Zoology Museum of the University Of Concepcion.
These specimens were collected primarily in Chile from Arica and Parinacota Region to the Magallanes and Chilean Antartic Region, and to lesser extent in Brazil and Argentina. They are fluid-preserved in alcohol and , each one is associated with a unique catalog number (MZUC-UCCC) and a defined storage location within the museum.
This dataset includes type material (Holotypes, Neotypes, Allotypes and Paratypes) of several species deposited in the collection, including Lycosa implacida (Nicolet, 1849), Lycosa magallanica (Karsch, 1880), Lycosa fernandezi (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1899), originally described as Lycosa virgulata; Lycosa indomita (Nicolet, 1849), Lycosa hildearae (Casanueva, 1980), Diapontia anfibia (Zapfe-Mann, 1979);originally described as Lycosa artigasi (Casanueva 1980), Monopia alupuran (Ramírez, 1955) and Monapia pichinahuel (Ramírez, 1955).
Specimen data were initially recorded in an internal database of the museum and subsequently standardized following the Darwin Core (DwC) format. During this process, data consistency was reviewed, and when necessary, taxonomic nomenclature was updated by consulting the World Spider Catalog. Geographic information was also validated to ensure that each specimen is associated with verifiable latitude and longitude coordinates. Finally, the dataset was validated using the GBIF data validator prior to publication

Cobertura geográfica
The records of this dataset are concentrated mainly in north and southern Chile, with the highest number of occurrences from Concepcion, Arica, Diguillín, Valparaíso, Magallanes, Malleco and Llanquihue. The dataset also includes a small number of records from Brazil and Argentina. Regarding georeferencing, only 3 specimens had coordinates originally provided by the collectors, as recorded on specimen labels. These coordinates were expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) and were converted to decimal degrees using the Canadensys coordinate conversion tool. The remaining specimens only included locality descriptions. For these records, geographic coordinates were estimated based on the available information using georeferencing tools, such as GeoPick and the Georeferencing Calculator.

Cobertura taxonómica
Aranae specimens in the Chelicerata Collection comprise a total of 14 families, 30 genera, and 43 species. Overall, 58 specimens are identified at the genus level and 260 at the species level. Each specimen was taxonomically validated and updated in all taxonomic categories, using the World Spider Catalog. To preserve the taxonomic history of each specimen, both the original identification and the currently accepted scientific name were retained. Original scientific names were recorded in the “previousIdentifications” field.

Métodos de muestreo
Sampling methods are documented for only two specimens and include Barber trap and manual capture. For the remaining specimens, no information on sampling methods is available. Most records correspond to historical material incorporated into the collection over several decades through different means, including field collections and donations. Consequently, detailed information on capture techniques, sampling effort, or standardized sampling protocols is not available.
| Área de Estudio | The dataset encompasses occurrence records from multiple localities distributed across Chile, including Concepción, San Miguel de Azapa, Hualpén, Punta Arenas, Bulnes, Chiguayante, San Clemente, Chillán, Puerto Varas, Chinchorro, Curacutín, Ovalle, Cabo de Hornos, among others. This dataset also includes specimens from Brazil (Curitiba and Butantã) and Argentina (Mendoza) |
|---|---|
| Control de Calidad | Taxonomic validation was carried out by updating the taxonomy and scientific names of each specimen consulting by the World Spider Catalog, along with curatorial actions that included the preparation of updated specimen labels. In addition, the condition of the specimen associated with each record was reviewed by verifying their physical presence in the collection and confirming the corresponding individual count. Georeferencing information was also validated to ensure that each record was associated with geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude). For specimens lacking coordinates provided by the collectors, approximate decimal coordinates were estimated based on the available locality information using GeoPick and the Georeferencing Calculator. Data consistency and formatting were further reviewed and standardized using OpenRefine, allowing for the detection and correction of formatting issues, inconsistencies, and duplicated values across Darwin Core fields. Finally, all records were validated using the GBIF data validator to confirm that the dataset complies with the requirements of the Darwin Core standard prior to publication in GBIF. |
Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- Specimen data were initially recorded in an internal database of the Zoology Museum of the University of Concepción. The information registered includes collection locality and geographic coordinates, sampling protocol (when available), collection date, collector and identifier names, number of individuals, and taxonomic identification with its corresponding systematic classification.
- During data entry, the consistency of the information was verified against the museum’s physical inventories (specimen labels, catalog cards, and accession books). When necessary, taxonomic identifications were updated consulting the World Spider Catalog. To preserve the taxonomic history of each specimen, both the original identification and the currently accepted scientific name were retained, with previous names recorded in the previousIdentifications field.
- Geographic information was also validated to ensure that each specimen is associated with verifiable latitude and longitude coordinates. For records lacking coordinates provided by the collectors, approximate decimal coordinates were estimated based on locality information using GeoPick and the Georeferencing Calculator. Data formatting and consistency were further reviewed and cleaned using OpenRefine. Finally, the dataset was validated using the GBIF data validator prior to publication
