The collection and database of Birds of Angola hosted at Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical, Lisboa, Portugal
Последняя версия опубликована Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical Nov 30, 2013
The bird collection of the Instituto de Investigação Cientítica Tropical holds 5598 preserved specimens (skins), mainly from Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Principe, and Cape Verde. The subset collection from Angola includes 1560 specimens, which were taxonomically revised and georeferenced for the publication of this data paper. The spatial coverage of the collection is uneven, with 2/3 of the records representing only four of the eighteen provinces of the country, namely Huíla, Moxico, Namibe and Cuanza Sul. It adds, however, valuable information for the Huíla area of the Angolan Scarp, which is probably a biodiversity hotspot of global conservation priority. The collection contains a total 522 taxa, including 161 species and 361 subspecies. Two species are classified by the IUCN Red List as Endangered - the wattled crane (Grus carunculata) and the Gabela bush-shrike (Laniarius amboimensis) - and two are classified as vulnerable - African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) and the white-headed vulture (Trigonoceps occipitalis). The temporal span of the database ranges between 1943 and 1979, but 32% are from years 1958-1959, and 25% from years 1968-1969. This georeferenced database adds invaluable data to the information for birds available through the GBIF network, for one of the countries with highest but less known biodiversity in Africa.

Географический охват
The geographic range of the collection covers the whole Angola. Distribution of sampling locations is presented in Figure 3, including counts of records per grid cell, in a half a minute grid. The distribution among the Angolan provinces is uneven, with the following series: Huíla (320), Moxico (293), Namibe (202), Cuanza Sul (166), Cuanza Norte (107), Cunene (88), Cuando Cubango (54), Huambo (51), Malanje (51), Benguela (35), Bengo (29), Cabinda (26), Bie (21), Lunda Norte (16), Lunda Sul (9), Uige (9), Luanda (1). No records occur in the province of Zaire, in the north-west region of Angola. The province is unknown for 82 specimens. The research unit in Angola where the main collectors where based was located in Huíla, which justifies the highest value found for that province.

Таксономический охват
The taxonomic coverage of this dataset spans class Aves from 24 orders and 69 families. Nearly two thirds of the specimens belong to the order Passeriformes, with the Coraciiformes order ranking second with 5% of the specimens. The families Cisticolidae, Estrildidae and Ploceidae have the highest number of records (136, 114 and 113 records respectively). The families with fewest records are Bucorvidae, Ciconiidae, Picidae, Spheniscidae, Trogonidae, Turnicidae and Tytonidae, with one record each. The database contains 522 taxa (161 species and 361 subspecies).

| Финансирование | This project was funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) through the project “Recovering the past, recording the present, and preparing the future of zoological collections in Portugal (ARCA)” (PTDC/BIA-QOR/71492/2006). |
| Описание плана выполнения исследований | The dataset resulting from this project is the outcome of the collaborative work carried out by two projects: (a) a project funded by FCT (contract: PTDC/BIA-QOR/71492/2006) and (b) the MSc project “Mapping and modelling the distribution of avian biodiversity in Angola”, of the first author, and co-funded by CIBIO, Centro de Investigação em Biodiversidade e Recursos Genéticos from the University of Porto. |

Методы сбора
More than one thousand records of this dataset resulted from expeditions and studies carried out by the former Section of Ornithology at the Instituto de Investigação Científica de Angola, coordinated by António Augusto da Rosa Pinto between 1958 and 1974. Some scientific results of these studies, for the non-passerine group were published in Rosa Pinto (1983).
| Охват исследования | The study covers most of Angola, including 17 out of the 18 provinces. The best-represented provinces are Huíla, Moxico, Namibe and Cuanza Norte. Only the province of Zaire (NW Angola) is not represented in the collection. The temporal distribution is mainly concentrated in the decades of 1950's (especially in years 1958 and 1959) and 1960's, corresponding to 95% of the records. |

| Контроль качества | Information from each specimen was catalogued in Specify 6, which involved two steps: i) digitalization of specimen's records (performed by MR, DR, IQN and SC); and ii) taxonomic revision and data checking (performed by the first author). The authors LR and MM also contributed to taxonomic revision of the specimens. Scientific names were checked with a taxonomic thesaurus built from the IOC World Bird List (v 3.4) (Gill and Donkster, 2012). Georeferencing followed recommendations by Chapman and Wieczorek (2006), including the determination of uncertainty of coordinates, in particular when no sufficient information was available from the specimens' records and label, to attribute a specific locality of origin (e.g. names of administrative regions, names of rivers). |
Описание этапа методики:
- The mammal and bird collections of the IICT were initially catalogued under the scope of project ARCA (2008-2010), using the software Specify Workbench, and afterwards imported to software Specify version 6. Whenever available, the descriptions of eye, beak and foot colour, and total length were also included. Since at that time no taxonomic specialists were available to revise the collection, records were catalogued as they were labelled, without taxonomic revision or update of taxonomic names. In 2012, the IICT collection of Angolan birds was fully taxonomically revised. This taxonomic revision followed the IOC bird list (Gill and Donsker, 2013) and all skins were labelled with a new catalogue number and the original information was thereafter included in the collection manager software Specify 6 (Specify Software Project 2013). Additionally, the specimens' original information was re-checked at this phase for any initial cataloguing errors. Since no georeferencing information was available on specimen labels or associated documentation, geographic coordinates were determined following procedure and recommendations by Chapman and Wieczorek (2006). Several geographic gazetteers were used to determine coordinates, based on the location information: Geolocate, Google Maps, Google Earth. Furthermore, the cartographic series 1:100 000 of Angola was used to find additional sites not available at gazetteers or to fine-tune coordinate uncertainty. The uncertainty of the coordinate was recorded whenever possible. For 88 records it was not possible to determine coordinates due to insufficient location information. All coordinates are given in geographic format, decimal degrees, datum WGS 84.
