1 GT GBIF Global Biodiversity Information Facility Country Report 12-month report ending 31 December 216 This report provides a series of summary charts, statistics and other details about the mobilization and use of open-access species data through the GBIF network at global and national scales. These metrics represent change over the past 12 months, unless otherwise noted. Taken together, the elements of this report can help guide and measure progress toward the information needs for national and international commitments on biodiversity and sustainable development. > Access and usage ➈ Figure 1.

Number of occurrence records downloaded via GBIF.org published by institutions in Recent peer-reviewed articles using GBIF-mediated data by co-authors based in The GBIF Secretariat maintains and reports on an ongoing literature tracking programme, giving priority to substantive uses of GBIF-mediated data in peer-reviewed literature while identifying the countries of the authors institutional affiliations. The citations below represent the five most recent journal articles with at least one co-author from this country. Those interested in assisting the Secretariat in identifying additional peer-reviewed uses of GBIF-mediated data may forward relevant citations to comms@gbif.org.

Occurrence records available about species occurring in WHY MIGHT THE AMOUNT OF MOBILIZED DATA DECREASE? Datasets are sometimes removed by publishers, but more often decreases in the number of records are due to the removal of duplicate records and datasets. Figure 6. Species having occurrence records available from SPECIES COUNTS represent the number of binomial scientific names for which GBIF has received data records, organized as far as possible using synonyms recorded in key databases like the Catalogue of Life.

5 5 8 Data availability Change in taxonomic precision of records about biodiversity occurring in Figure 7. Taxonomic precision of specimen records occurring in Figure 8. Taxonomic precision of observation records occurring occurring in These charts illustrate changes in the number of available records which include an identification at least to the species rank. The numbers of records identified to an infraspecific rank or to a genus are also shown. Change in geographic precision of records about species occurring in Figure 9. Geographic precision of specimen records occurring in Figure 1. Geographic precision of observation records occurring in These charts illustrate changes in the number of available records which include coordinates for which no known issues have been detected. For records without accepted valid coordinates, these charts also show the number of records for which the country of occurrence is known. See more trends in data about

Completeness of specimen records published by institutions from Figure 12. Completeness of observation records published by institutions from These charts illustrate changes over time in the number of records considered complete, here defined to include the following: identification at least to species rank valid coordinates full date of occurrence given basis of record (e.g. observation, specimen, etc.) Most recent datasets from publishers in USAC Mammals Collection.
