This is an experimental collection of State species of interest from the New Mexico Heritage Society's "Biota Information System of New Mexico." There is interest from a NM Game and Fish Department contact in updating their connection with GAP species as well as discovering a new way to directly connect to live data on Species of Greatest Conservation Need. We are experimenting with a way to pick up all species and run them through the TIR process. The current BISON-M web application provides no smooth way that we could find to interface with software (including web scraping), so we ran a brute force query for all species in the database, copied the raw tabular text output to a text file, and then wrote a simple...
One of the foundational products the Biogeographic Characterization Branch puts out is a national synthesis of Species of Greatest Conservation Need from across U.S. States and Territories. The species lists are stored in their own collection in ScienceBase. This item provides documentation of the route to those lists for the Taxa Information Registry process.
A number of labs in the USGS are providing scientific assistance for the US Fish and Wildlife Service National Listing Workplan. The Biogeographic Characterization Branch is applying existing methods and exploring new methods for information assembly via the Taxa Information Registry. This ScienceBase Item provides links to reference material and a couple of stashed files used as input to the TIR process.

The Gap Analysis Project (GAP) is a core activity of the Biogeographic Characterization Branch. GAP produces and manages a set of species habitat distribution maps based on the 30-meter GAP land cover product. GAP species and subspecies are best represented within another ScienceBase collection that documents and houses the 2001 release of CONUS habitat maps. The items in that collection provide essential details for the TIR process within their identifiers (species names, GAP identifiers, ITIS TSN, and other related identifiers).
