説明

This dataset details approved records from the Shark Trust's Great Eggcase Hunt, active since 2003. Comprised of citizen science observations, both on land and in-situ, records of eggcases from around the world have been complied to help better understand these oviparous species. Data comes from ad-hoc records, regular surveys and data uploads from partner organisations. Please note that not all records are verified, but this has been indicated in the extended Measurements or Facts.

プロジェクトデータ

The Shark Trust’s Great Eggcase Hunt engages communities in searching for, identifying, and recording the eggcases of sharks, skates and chimaera. This feeds a better understanding of these species, and which areas provide important habitats like egglaying grounds. Some citizen scientists regularly submit finds from their local beaches, while others may make a new shoreline discovery that leads them to discover what a mermaid’s purse really is. With over half a million eggcases recorded by the public over 20+ years, this dataset displays the broad distribution, diversity of species, and relative abundance of sharks, skates and chimaera around the British Isles and further afield. This data allows for an improved understanding of this important development stage of a sharks or skates life-cycle.

Study Area Description Global, with a participation bias from the British Isles.
研究の意図、目的、背景など(デザイン) Eggcases can be recorded from anywhere around the world, whether recorded in-situ, or washed ashore on the beach, in the sand dunes or the car-park. Records are submitted on an ad-hoc basis, with some Eggcase Champions and partner organisations undertaking more regular, structured surveys.

収集方法

Records are gathered from citizen science observations submitted on an ad-hoc basis, with some Eggcase Champions and partner organisations undertaking more regular, structured surveys.

Study Extent Data is generated from citizen science observations. Many are ad-hoc finds, while some areas are more regularly surveyed using a standardised methodology. The majority of finds are from beach records, with some being in situ records observed while snorkelling or diving.
Quality Control All data has been approved by a member of staff or via a user of the Community Verification Platform before publication. All records have undergone internal Quality Checks, with checks made against known species range and pin location checked and adjusted as required.

Method step description:

  1. NA

追加のメタデータ

謝辞

This dataset would not be possible without the contributions of all citizen scientists and organisations that have participated. Whether reporting one ad-hoc find or thousands of records over the span of years, every record has helped build towards this combined dataset.

Data transformation and publication was funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Programme with Grant Agreement No. 101112823 (DTO-BioFlow) through an FSTP call.

はじめに

The Shark Trust’s Great Eggcase Hunt engages communities in searching for, identifying, and recording the eggcases of sharks, skates and chimaera. This feeds a better understanding of these species, and which areas provide important habitats like egglaying grounds. Some citizen scientists regularly submit finds from their local beaches, while others may make a new shoreline discovery that leads them to discover what a mermaid’s purse really is.

With over half a million eggcases recorded by the public over 20+ years, this dataset displays the broad distribution, diversity of species, and relative abundance of sharks, skates and chimaera around the British Isles and further afield. This data allows for an improved understanding of this important development stage of a sharks or skates life-cycle.

Getting Started

This data is comprised of three tables: Event, Occurrence and extended measurements or facts. The field 'search effort' details the number of participants taking part in the survey as a measure of effort. However, this field has only been in use since 2022. The field 'locationRemarks' details whether the eggcase was seen developing in-situ underwater, or it was recorded on-shore - likely a spent eggcase. While every record is checked by a member of staff or through the Community Verification Platform, 'identificationVerificationStatus' flags whether the record had any evidence to prove the species ID. Accepted evidence types  include a photograph, specimen or expert ID.

目的

This dataset displays the broad distribution, diversity of species, and relative abundance of sharks, skates and chimaera around the British Isles and further afield.

メンテナンス内容 Each subsequent year of data will be uploaded once internal QC has been completed.
