Important Pollinator

Description:
Abstract:
Plant pollinators play enormous
ecological and economic roles in natural and cultivated landscapes. Recent
studies suggest that some species of pollinators are suffering sharp population
declines, highlighting the need to increase our understanding of pollinator
natural history, population status, and distribution. Understanding this need,
the USGS asked NatureServe to develop detailed range maps of five pollinator
species, selected using several criteria (each species is a true pollinator,
has a wide distribution, pollinates a broad range of plants, is not
domesticated, is representative geographically and taxonomically, and is well
known).
This dataset contains a distribution map for Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna),
an important hummingbird pollinator of the west coast, currently ranging from
southeast
Purpose: To produce a high-quality and up to date map of the distribution of Anna’s Hummingbird (Calypte anna).

Logical Consistency Report:
Although we feel we did the best
job possible to produce an accurate database, some errors surely remain in the
data. Our knowledge of Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) distribution continues
to improve, so this map may be out of date by the time you see it.
Please alert Bruce Young (bruce_young@natureserve.org) of any errors you detect
in the data or of newly published information that would serve to update the
map. We will be constantly reviewing the scientific literature to keep abreast
of taxonomic and distributional changes. Updated map will be available for
download at NatureServe’s website (www.natureserve.org).
Completeness Report:
We endeavored to obtain comprehensive data on the distribution of this species. We contacted all major museums and significant ornithological databases covering the range. Two important portals we used, in addition to contacting museums directly, were GBIF (http://www.gbif.org/) and ORNIS (http://olla.berkeley.edu/ornisnet/). In sum, we compiled over 120,000 records. After removing duplicate records from the same locality, we worked with 12,600 unique records. The resulting range map depicts the range where the species regularly breeds, overwinters, and wanders. It does not include records from where the species has occurred as a vagrant.

To provide an accurate picture of the current range of
this species, we modified the map provided by Russell (1996) (Russell, S.M.
1996. Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna). In The Birds of North America, No. 226 (A. Poole and F. Gill,
editors). The
The species also wanders widely outside of the breeding season and even during
the breeding season months in
The final map shows where the species is a permanent resident, non breeding
resident, and migrant/wanderer.
Due to institutional restrictions on redistribution of the locality information
provided to us, we cannot make the distribution database available to the
public.

Overview Description:
Entity and Attribute Overview:
The ArcView shape files contain the known range of the species. Ranges may be depicted as polygons where a species is widespread, as points where there are isolated records, or both. The file naming convention is as follows. POLYGON files are named: gggg_ssss_pl.xxx where gggg is the genus name, ssss is the specific name, and xxx are the extensions (e.g., shp, dbf) that ArcView attaches to shapefiles. POINT files are named: gggg_ssss_pt.xxx. DBF files accompanying each polygon contain taxonomic information, distribution status, sources and other details about the maps (see Data Attributes).
