OBIS - SEAMAP (Rutgers) - marine mammals, birds and turtles

The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) schema extends Darwin. For more OBIS info, see iobis.org . See the OBIS schema at iobis.org/tech/provider/questions .

Queries: Although OBIS datasets have many variables, most variables have few values. The only queries that are likely to succeed MUST include a constraint for Genus= and MAY include constraints for Species=, longitude, latitude, and time. Most OBIS datasets return a maximum of 1000 rows of data per request.

The limitation is imposed by the OBIS administrators. Available Genera (and number of records): Actitis (13), Aechmophorus (13015), Alca (362), Alle (8858), Anas (20383), Anous (66), Anser (1), Aphriza (17), Aptenodytes (43), Arctocephalus (20), Ardea (8542), Arenaria (141), Aythya (17396), Balaenoptera (9140), Berardius (61), Brachyramphus (2530), Branta (3335), Brevoortia (149), Bucephala (98937), Bulweria (32), Buteo (31), Calidris (185), Callorhinus (1799), Calonectris (2217), Caranx (24), Caretta (18679), Casmerodius (2), Catharacta (1022), Cathartes (5), Catoptrophorus (14), Cephalorhynchus (26), Cepphus (11227), Cerorhinca (8842), Cetorhinus (472), Charadrius (47), Chelonia (1192), Chen (83), Chionis (7), Chlidonias (809), Chloroscombrus (1), Circus (51), Clangula (3525), Colaptes (5), Columba (48), Corvus (3119), Coryphaena (120), Cubaris (2047), Cygnus (301), Cystophora (22), Daption (1688), Delphinapterus (9), Delphinus (3255), Dermochelys (473), Diomedea (2779), Egretta (5), Enhydra (2079), Eretmochelys (2), Erignathus (43), Eschrichtius (1648), Eubalaena (808), Eudyptes (79), Eumetopias (293), Falco (15), Feresa (77), Fratercula (2463), Fregata (560), Fregetta (791), Fulica (32), Fulmarus (42217), Gallinago (3), Garrodia (25), Gavia (15422), Genus (1364), Globicephala (2506), Grampus (2352), Gygis (14), Haematopus (162), Haliaeetus (2433), Halichoerus (9487), Halobaena (557), Heteroscelus (4), Himantopus (2), Histrio (271), Histrionicus (4151), Hydrobates (165), Hyperoodon (52), Indopacetus (4), Kogia (415), Lagenodelphis (38), Lagenorhynchus (2948), Larus (138165), Lepidochelys (1637), Limnodromus (12), Limosa (34), Lissodelphis (570), Lontra (75), Lophodytes (1045), Macronectes (1412), Manta (53), Megaceryle (833), Megaptera (12415), Melanitta (54800), Mergus (15475), Mesoplodon (331), Mirounga (7728), Mola (2757), Morus (8944), Myliobatis (2), Nesofregetta (1), Numenius (16), Oceanites (9448), Oceanodroma (11690), Odobenus (146), Opisthonema (1), Orcinus (423), Oxyura (756), Pachyptila (3407), Pagodroma (454), Pagophila (1305), Pagophilus (47), Pandion (100), Patagioenas (8), Pelagodroma (18), Pelecanoides (410), Pelecanus (3148), Peponocephala (43), Phaethon (209), Phalacrocorax (21676), Phalacrocorax Spp.
