Descriptions(1)

Status in U. K. – cryptogenic. Ascidiella aspersa (“ fluted sea squirt ”) has been recorded from many monitoring programme sites, each year since 2012, from scrape, settlement panel and rapid assessment samples. It has also been recorded from renewable energy structures in Orkney (Want et al. 2017). This species has been listed as “ introduced ” in the Mediterranean (López-Legentil and Legentil 2015) and is considered invasive in Japan and elsewhere (Nishikawa et al. 2014). Its type locality is southern Norway (Skagerrak) and it is widely considered to be native to northern Europe: however, it should be regarded as cryptogenic in the U. K. until its native range can be confirmed. NMS voucher reference number: NMS. Z. 2017.144.117.

    GBIF Backbone Taxonomy

    GBIF Backbone Taxonomy

    checklist

    The GBIF Backbone Taxonomy is a single, synthetic management classification with the goal of covering all names GBIF is dealing with. It's the taxonomic backbone that allows GBIF to integrate name based information from different resources, no matter if these are occurrence datasets, species pages, names from nomenclators or external sources like EOL, Genbank or IUCN. This backbone allows taxonomic search, browse and reporting operations across all those resources in a consistent way and to provide means to crosswalk names from one source to another.

    It is updated regulary through an automated process in which the Catalogue of Life acts as a starting point also providing the complete higher classification above families. Additional scientific names only found in other authoritative nomenclatural and taxonomic datasets are then merged into the tree, thus extending the original catalogue and broadening the backbones name coverage. The GBIF Backbone taxonomy also includes identifiers for Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) drawn from the barcoding resources iBOL and UNITE.

    International Barcode of Life project (iBOL), Barcode Index Numbers (BINs). BINs are connected to a taxon name and its classification by taking into account all names applied to the BIN and picking names with at least 80% consensus. If there is no consensus of name at the species level, the selection process is repeated moving up the major Linnaean ranks until consensus is achieved.

    UNITE - Unified system for the DNA based fungal species, Species Hypotheses (SHs). SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification based on the determination of the RefS (reference sequence) if present or the RepS (representative sequence). In the latter case, if there is no match in the UNITE taxonomy, the lowest rank with 100% consensus within the SH will be used.

    The GBIF Backbone Taxonomy is available for download at https://hosted-datasets.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/ in different formats together with an archive of all previous versions.
