Update checklist macroinvertebrates 2024

[sannegovaert]

We will release a new publication. Can you check wether the current checklist is up to date? @timadriaens

Most important is to check:

• degree of establishment is established for all species. Is this correct? The options of this field are explained in the Establishment vocabulary.
• update date last observation. In the first publication in 2016, this field was 2016 for all species.
• add new introduced species
• The vocabulary for introduction pathway has been updated. So we need to use the new terms. Please check if my suggestions are correct or need to be updated (in the spreadsheet). Here is the overview:

old pathway	new proposed pathway	alternative
Ship/boat hull fouling	hullFouling
Ship/boat ballast water	ballastWater
Contaminant on animals (except parasites, species transported by host/vector)	contaminantOnAnimals
Aquaculture	aquacultureMariculture
Pet/aquarium/terrarium species (including live food for such species )	pet	liveFoodLiveBait (both can be added)
Other means of transport	otherTransport
Interconnected waterways/basins/seas	waterwaysBasinsSeas
Mariculture	aquacultureMariculture

In the taxon core, there are 3 terms missing which we do have in other checklists:

• accesssRights: when INBO is the rightsholder, this field is https://www.inbo.be/en/norms-data-use.
• InstitutionCode
• class: can be filled in in the spreadsheet
  Do you want these fields to be added to the taxon core?
