Abstract

NOMENCLATURAL NOTES Mexican Cretaceous coral species (Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Scleractinia) described as new by Filkorn & Pantoja-Alor (2009), but deemed 'unpublished' under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature: republication of data necessary for nomenclatural

Ancient Reef Traits, a database of trait information for reef-building organisms over the Phanerozoic

“…The data release is in the form of a compressed folder containing two files: data.csv : A csv-formatted file containing the contextual information and measurement of specimens. references.csv : A csv-formatted file containing the bibliographic information of data sources 24 – 114 . …”

“…references.csv : A csv-formatted file containing the bibliographic information of data sources 24 – 114 .…”

“…However, as data entry and validation (see Technical Validation) is ongoing, users are recommended to use the data made available through the static releases to maximise reproducibility of analyses and results. Both the static releases 23 and direct downloads are accompanied by the primary sources 24 – 114 which should be credited.…”

“…All data in the ARTD and included in this release are linked with published (e.g. peer-reviewed papers, taxonomic monographs, books) references 24 – 114 . The final dataset consists of one row per trait for each specimen entered.…”
