Available Layers:
- Occurrence dataPoints from georeferenced herbarium specimens and genebank accessions used to create the potential distribution model and perform the gap analysis.
- Potential distribution mapCalculated using maximum entropy (Maxent) model, with a set of bioclimatic variables and species occurrence data as inputs. In the case that a robust Maxent model was not possible, a buffer of 50 km radius was placed around occurrence points as an estimation of potential distribution. Please see the "Conservation Gaps" page for details.
- Collecting priorities mapDerived from comparing the potential distribution map against areas that have previously been collected, to reveal uncollected geographic areas.
To explore individual species, click the "CWR Taxon" button and enter the species name in the search box. The results will first show available occurrence data points.
Click on "Potential distribution map" to display the distribution model derived from occurrence data. Finally, click on "Collecting priorities map" to show areas identified as in need of further collecting. The conservation status of the species is also provided, along with a link to the associated crop genepool.
