genus

genus

The full scientific name of the genus in which the dwc:Taxon is classified.

scientificname

scientificName

The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of a dwc:Identification, this should be the name in lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the dwc:identificationQualifier term.

aquatic

aquatic

Any watery environment, from small to large, from pond to ocean, in which plants and animals interact with the chemical and physical features of the environment.

endemism

endemism

A taxon is said to be endemic to an area if it lives there and nowhere else.

adaptation

adaptation

[Henderson's] n. (1) evolutionary process involving genetic change by which a pop­ulation becomes fitted to its prevailing environment; (2) structure or habit fitted for some special environment or activity; (3) process by which a cell, organ or organ­ism becomes habituated to a particular level of stimulus and ceases to respond to it, a more intense stimulus then being needed to produce a response; (4) in the eye, increasing sensitivity of retina to the available light.

year

year

The four-digit year in which the dwc:Event occurred, according to the Common Era Calendar.

month

month

The integer month in which the dwc:Event occurred.

season

season

One of the four equal periods into which the year is divided by the equinoxes and solstices, resulting from the apparent movement of the sun north and south of the equator during the course of the earth's orbit around it. These periods (spring, summer, autumn and winter) have their characteristic weather conditions in different regions, and occur at opposite times of the year in the N and S hemispheres.

airtemperature

air temperature

The temperature of the atmosphere which represents the average kinetic energy of the molecular motion in a small region and is defined in terms of a standard or calibrated thermometer in thermal equilibrium with the air.

celsius

watertemperature

water temperature

[EOL] any measurable characteristic related to the temperature of water

celsius

salinity

salinity

[ECSO] Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water (see also soil salinity). Salinity is an important factor in determining many aspects of the chemistry of natural waters and of biological processes within it, and is a thermodynamic state variable that, along with temperature and pressure, governs physical characteristics like the density and heat capacity of the water.

PSU

waterdepth

water depth

[ECSO] Depth of water, which is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of organisms.
