Abstract:

This database contains point locations of species observations for terrestrial vertebrates (birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles) and butterflies for Arizona and New Mexico published in Bender et al. (2005). Each point observation is described by information such as the species name, date observed, details of the observer and method, animal information, and data quality. Source data was compiled from various sources, including museums, private collections, established bird surveys (North American Breeding Bird Survey and Audubon Christmas Bird Count Survey), and government and non-government organizations. These data were originally available via DVD with Bender et al. (2005) and are now available via the Forest Service Research Data Archive.
