0766209020 rafnuss@gmail.com 0000-0002-8185-1020 2025-02-10 eng This dataset contains the digitized bird atlas data from "Les oiseaux de Sénégambie" (Morel & Morel, 1990). The data consists of the presence data for all species on a degree grid cells in Senegal and Gambia seperatly up to the date of redaction. The book presents itself as an update of "Liste commentée des oiseaux du Sénégal et de la Gambie" (Morel, 1972) and (Morel, 1980). The code used to generate this dataset is available at https://github.com/Rafnuss/Digitization-of-Oiseaux-de-Senegambie. You can download this dataset as an csv format without all the DwC field at https://github.com/Rafnuss/Digitization-of-Oiseaux-de-Senegambie/tree/main/data The book can be found on [worldcat.org](https://search.worldcat.org/title/1392421968) or consulted on this [webpage](https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers20-07/31877.pdf).

Covering all of the Republic of Senegal and the Republic of The Gambia using square degree (Larsen et al. 2009), but seperating the squares over Senegal than those of the Gambia. On this geographic system, the data covers 32 squares. -17.124 -11.684 16.283 12.692 All 623 bird species (aves sp.) recorded in Senegal and the Gambia at the time of the Atlas. The book follow the taxonomy adopted by White (1960-65). In the book, the authors also mention the scientific name used by Bannerman (1953) when they differ but we did not include those names, nor the french name. While the data preserves the original common and scientific names (as `originalNameUsage`), the `scientificName` is matched to the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. (See https://github.com/Rafnuss/Digitization-of-Oiseaux-de-Senegambie/blob/main/data/gbif/sp_list_gbif.xlsx for details). In general, the book precise the subspecies in the species account detail, but only in some particular condition: this subspecies occurs in the region, species previously lumped as subspecies, when subspecies is identifiable. In this dataset we used the scientific name provided in the table of content (i.e., subspecies). Four subspecies are provided as seperate maps, but they have since then be splitted as different species in the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy: - _Egretta garzetta gularis_ -> _Egretta gularis_ - _Cuculus canorus canorus_ and _Cuculus canorus gularis_ -> _Cuculus gularis_ - _Hirundo rustica rustica_ and _Hirundo rustica lucida_ -> _Hirundo lucida_ - _Motacilla alba alba_ and _Motacilla alba vidua_ -> _Motacilla aguimp (vidua)_ In addition, several doubful species are mentioned in the book but without map. We did not include these species as no spatial information is available. family Psittacidae family Buphagidae family Pellorneidae order Suliformes family Estrildidae family Sylviidae family Pluvianidae family Monarchidae family Upupidae family Phylloscopidae order Anseriformes family Columbidae family Certhiidae order Struthioniformes family Odontophoridae order Galliformes order Pteroclidiformes family Coliidae family Emberizidae order Passeriformes family Pycnonotidae order Pelecaniformes family Phoeniculidae family Glareolidae family Picidae family Leiothrichidae family Scopidae order Gruiformes family Indicatoridae family Fringillidae family Alcedinidae family Scolopacidae family Musophagidae order Apodiformes family Macrosphenidae family Charadriidae family Gruidae order Musophagiformes family Recurvirostridae family Pteroclididae family Otididae family Phoenicopteridae order Coliiformes family Phasianidae family Jacanidae family Turdidae family Acrocephalidae family Caprimulgidae family Nicatoridae family Laniidae family Paridae family Ardeidae family Oriolidae family Dicruridae family Anatidae family Bucerotidae family Bucorvidae family Numididae family Stenostiridae family Malaconotidae class aves family Laridae phylum chordata family Corvidae order Cuculiformes family Motacillidae family Muscicapidae family Phalacrocoracidae family Cuculidae family Heliornithidae family Podicipedidae order Phoenicopteriformes family Haematopodidae family Zosteropidae family Rostratulidae family Hyliotidae order Ciconiiformes order Falconiformes family Ploceidae family Anhingidae order Accipitriformes family Pandionidae family Sturnidae family Cettiidae order Columbiformes family Platysteiridae family Coraciidae family Prionopidae order Charadriiformes family Threskiornithidae family Passeridae order Bucerotiformes family Accipitridae order Podicipediformes family Campephagidae family Hirundinidae family Struthionidae family Sagittariidae family Strigidae order Psittaciformes family Alaudidae order Caprimulgiformes family Burhinidae family Viduidae family Remizidae family Falconidae family Apodidae family Rallidae family Tytonidae kingdom animalia order Otidiformes order Strigiformes order Coraciiformes order Piciformes family Turnicidae family Nectariniidae family Locustellidae family Lybiidae family Cisticolidae family Ciconiidae family Meropidae family Pelecanidae notPlanned Raphaël Nussbaumer Swiss Ornithological Institute Research Associate

We converted the data from a text description to a standardised column (date-atlas code). 4. We changed the species name to the name used in the book (both common and scientific names). 5. We added the data from the missing species (e.g., species without a map). 6. We reverted back any species split/lumped/removed since then. 7. Finally, we manually checked the data with the book (see quality control) 8. We exported the data in Darwin core standard with `script_gbif.m` See Morel & Morel (1990) for information on the study extent of the original data. Here, we describe only the digitisation of the data. We follow as closely as possible the extent of the data provided in the book. - We report all species mentioned in the book and followed their taxonomy as close as possible while still respecting the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. - We report the spatial information at the grid square level providing a user friendly `locality` name (e.g., `square_Gambia_lat13.5N_lon15.5E`), the exact polygon (degree square - intersecting country boundary) as `footprintWKT` and centre of the square (`decimalLatitude`, `decimalLongitude`). See Morel & Morel (1990) for information on sampling of the original data. See step description below for the digitisation of the data. See Morel & Morel (1990) for information on the quality control of the original data. We describe here only the digitisation of the data. We considered the book as the reference, and thus manually checked that the digitised data matches the maps of the book. To perform this validation, we generated the same maps as the book based on the digitised data and visually compared them to the original map to check for discrepancy. Additionally, we used the gbif data-validator before the upload (https://www.gbif.org/tools/data-validator). 2025-02-04T08:36:08.118+00:00 dataset Nussbaumer R (2025). Les Oiseaux de la Sénégambie.
