Occurrence data at 10km resolution for terrestrial mammals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, 1960-1992 and 2000-2016 v2

This dataset contains 10km summarised occurrence data for terrestrial mammals as mapped in the Atlas of Mammal of Great Britain and Northern Ireland published by the Mammal Society in 2020. For each species 10km grid squares were categorised based on whether the species was recorded in that square only the current atlas time period (2000-2016), only the previous atlas time period (1960-1992) or in both time periods. The dataset contains data for all species mapped in the atlas, with the exception of cetaceans which are not included in the dataset.

Statement
This dataset is a summarised product of the production of the Mammal Atlas and represents the 10km resolution data plotted in the species maps in the atlas. The underlying data used in the production of the atlas to determine the summarised distributions came from a wide number of sources, such as the iRecord, National Biodiversity Network (NBN) gateway (now the NBN atlas), local biological records centres, national and local monitoring schemes. Data was provided to the Mammal Society from these sources for the purpose of producing the mammal atlas. Data from iRecord and the Mammal Society’s online recording tools & mammal tracker app were verified and validated by Mammal Society verifiers. The majority of other data had undergone verification and validation prior to being provided to the Mammal Society but the level and extent of QA differed between sources and the QA processes were often not specified in detail. The majority of data is opportunistic sightings data, however the dataset does also contain data from structured and or professional surveys.
