Description
This dataset contains preliminary occurrence records for specimens of the Ferns and Fern allies, housed at South Pacific Regional Herbarium (SUVA), at The University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.
Records do not have GPS coordinates, however, locality descriptions are provided.
Data mobilisation is supported by the BID Pacific project "Mobilizing biodiversity data from natural history collections in Fiji" (BID-PA-2020-006-NAC).
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 431 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
