Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation (BISON)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The USGS Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation (BISON) project is an online mapping information system consisting of a large collection of species occurrence datasets (e.g., plants and animals) found in the United States, with relevant geospatial layers.

Description

Species occurrences are records of organisms at a particular time and location that are often collected as part of biological field studies and taxonomic collections.

These data serve as a foundation for biodiversity and conservation research.

License: Data Use Requirements: Any use of BISON web services automatically commits the user to acceptance of the Data Use Agreement. Adapted from the Data Use Agreement of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). ///Background/// Biodiversity Information Serving our Nation (BISON) is committed to providing free and open access to species occurrence data. Most data currently made available through BISON are provided through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). GBIF Participants who have signed the GBIF MoU have expressed their willingness to make biodiversity data available through their nodes to foster scientific research development internationally and to support the public use of these data. GBIF data sharing should take place within a framework of due attribution. Therefore, using data available through BISON requires agreeing with the following: 1. Data Use Agreements - The quality and completeness of data cannot be guaranteed. Users employ these data at their own risk. Users shall respect restrictions of access to sensitive data. In order to make attribution of use for owners of the data possible, the identifier of ownership of data must be retained with every data record. Users must publicly acknowledge, in conjunction with the use of the data, the data publishers whose biodiversity data they have used. Data publishers may require additional attribution of specific collections within their institution. Users must comply with additional terms and conditions of use set by the data publisher. Where these exist they will be available through the metadata associated with the data. 2. Citing Data - Use the following format to cite data retrieved from BISON: Biodiversity occurrence data published by: (Accessed through Biodiversity Information Serving our Nation (BISON), bison.usgs.ornl.gov, YYYY-MM-DD) For example: Biodiversity occurrence data published by: Field Museum of Natural History, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of Washington Burke Museum, and University of Turku (Accessed through Biodiversity Information Serving our Nation (BISON), bison.usgs.ornl.gov, 2013-04-22).
