Williams Wet Tropics Vertebrate database
<p>This database contains occurrence data for vertebrates across the Australian Wet Tropics. Species occurrence point data has been collected during field intensive surveys using a variety of sampling methods as well as from the literature and institutional databases. The records are divided into two tables: Misc_records and STD_records. The first contains records collated opportunistically, as well as records collected from literature. The latter is a collection of standardized surveys conducted by Steve E. Williams (JCU). </p>
<p> All occurrences were vetted for positional and taxonomic accuracy, and for sensitivity at the state and national levels. Sensitive species records are withheld or have their location generalised following sensitive species rules for processing these records. </p>

- Purpose
- These data are collected to gain a deeper understanding of the distribution of vertebrate species across the Australian Wet Tropics. The data can be leveraged to gain a broader understanding of the realized and fundamental niche of vertebrates in this area, as well as their shifts under present and future environmental change.

Data quality info
- Hierarchy level
- Dataset
- Other
- All occurrences were vetted for positional and taxonomic accuracy, and for sensitivity at the state and national levels. Sensitive species records are withheld or have their location generalised following state-level rules for processing these records. All records are individual animals except for species code CC Chowchilla (bird) where a single record if recorded as a Heard (reliability a 3) will actually be for a single-family group of 3-5 individuals.
Report
Result
- Statement
- After assessment 21 species were classified as sensitive, 6485 records from these 21 species were generalized to 10km.
