I3N Database and Tools to Prevent Biological Invasions Joel Rotunda Lionfish TDWG Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network • GEF grant-funded project with 34 member countries • Promote access to information useful to decision makers to improve biodiversity conservation • Improve regional cooperation for biodiversity management through sharing of experience and expertise • Helps members address critical issues at a regional level • Five Networks – – – – – Ecosystems Invasive Species Pollinators Protected Areas Species and Specimens The I3N and Participants • 19 active countries • Focal Points in each country • Capacity building through grants and training for sharing data • Provides informatics tools, training on tool use, and direct online access to standardized IAS data • Coordinated by the US Geological Survey (USGS)/NBII. Collaboration/Support • 19 governments supporting national I3N leads • BioNET • Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) • GEKKO/Universidad del Sur (Argentina) • Global Invasive Species Information Network (GISIN) – (Denmark, Argentina, Great Britain, Malaysia, China, Morocco, Zambia, New Zealand, Germany, USA) • Guyra Paraguay (Paraguay) • InBio (Costa Rica) • Institute of Jamaica (Jamaica) • Instituto Horus, CRIA (Brazil) • Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) • IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) – Global Invasive Species Database (New Zealand) • National Biological Information Infrastructure, U.S. Geological Survey, USAID, US State Department (USA) • NatureServe • TNC South America Invasive Species Program The CBD “… welcomes the ‘I3N’ … and calls on the Global Environment Facility, Parties, Governments, and relevant organizations to support and participate in these initiatives” (Decision VI/23) Tools and Services • Tools for creating/exporting/displaying standardized databases – invasive species lists, characteristics, experts, projects, bibliography • Information standards and guidance • Bilingual search tool for national inventories – Cross-country search and display • Internet hosting of national inventories and publications at no charge • Content-rich bilingual web site • Listserv • Concepts/informatics training module – Spanish, English, Portuguese Database Characteristics • Microsoft Access 2000 or Web interface (templates for countries), being redesigned open source. • Spanish, Portuguese, and English versions • Detailed tri-lingual user manuals • Controlled vocabulary (GISIN, GISD) • Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) as taxonomic authority • Dublin Core Metadata Standard • XML export function for exporting data to other databases • Add Marine fields and terminology © Finding Species I3N Database Introduction Tab (Edit Mode) •Cause, place and date of introduction •References and description •There may be several introduction records for one species Characteristics Tab (Edit Mode) Species Characteristics Dispersal Pathways Vectors Diet Reproduction Sea Lamprey M.
