| The HBRG taxon records database |
|
HBRG holds a large database of taxon records built up over many years. Most of our data have been placed on NBN Atlas with full public access. With the exception of some confidential records, these data are available to all, although a fee may be charged for searching the database (terms and conditions, .pdf, 37KB, and a request form .docx, 38KB, to be completed and returned). The fee will be waived for non-commercial searches. Enquiries may be addressed to the . |

*** NBN Atlas has unilaterally and without consultation deleted 276 of our Pipistrellus pipistrellus s.s. records (TVK NHMSYS0020001355). We have tried repeatedly over months to get this reversed without success, but will continue to press for a proper solution to what is a simple coding problem. This is completely out of the control of HBRG. The records are provided in this Excel file, OSGRs smudged to monad level as required by the NatureScot Sensitive Species List. Anyone requiring capture resolution should contact the Database Manager (above). *** Further, because of what is clearly a major fault in the atlas, the display of 170 records from our Fungus, Lichens and Lower Plants Dataset has been corrupted, losing the taxon name from the records. Again, this is completely out of the control of HBRG. UPDATE 3 April. NBN has said that this problem has been resolved, though it is apparent that other problems remain to be fixed. Only when we are assured that the errors of which NBN has been notified have been resolved and will not recur will we update all our datasets to NBN Atlas. *** |
