Abstract

Summary of species occurrence data from 1900 to 2020 for Australian terrestrial species organised by IBRA region and EPBC status. Counts are provided by species and IBRA region for:

1. The total number of occurrence records within the region, for a given EPBC status and time period
2. The number of distinct species recorded within the region, for a given EPBC status and time period Occurrence records were aggregated and organised by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/) and include survey and monitoring data collected and managed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/).

Purpose

The counts in this dataset allow for simple comparisons of numbers of records and species with different levels of conservation status within regions, and comparisons of similar levels of conservation status across regions. Note however that such counts may not accurately reflect real differences in biodiversity, and it is important to consider confounding factors (particularly variations in recording effort over time).
