University of California, Santa Barbara Natural History Collections on GBIF — Data Description

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The UCSB Natural History Collections (Cheadle Center) mobilize specimen and observation data for plants, algae, lichens, invertebrates, and vertebrates via GBIF. Datasets are published through community portals (CCH2, Macroalgae, Lichen Consortium), Symbiota/Ecdysis, and VertNet, and are standardized to Darwin Core with GBIF processing (normalization, taxonomic matching, and issue flagging). Collectively, these resources emphasize Southern California and the northern Channel Islands, with records spanning from the 1880s to the present. Data downloads are available via the GBIF portal https://www.gbif.org/publisher/cae7b6c7-669a-4261-9a34-6e8cdc16a125.

Some loggers were moved to different sites or had technical difficulties, therefore dates that have gaps in data represent a time period where data is not available.
