Description
The database of stranded cetaceans in The Netherlands contains of records of whales, dolphins and porpoises, order Cetacea. All records concern strandings of single individuals (there are four exceptions: one of 3-6 sperm whales and three of 11-61 long-finned pilot whales). The electronic database has been compiled from published records on strandings (see Literature) gathered since 1914 and has been regularly supplemented with data. It contains all records that have been presented to the respective managers of the database, and was started by A.B. van Deinse. Van Deinse and successors have added strandings from before 1914 as well and the oldest record thus far is a sperm whale stranded in 1255.
At the moment of publishing with GBIF, the database contained over 12,500 unique records of 26 species (among which five subfossil records of the nowadays extinct Atlantic population of grey whale Eschrichtius robustus and a few dozens of unidentified specimens). The database is considered to be fairly complete since 1914 regarding species other than harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena. Of the latter, records are up to date only since 1971. Harbour porpoise has always been resident species in Dutch waters and it was considered too common by Van Deinse – and records were too numerous – to collect data of stranded individuals until the late 1950s, when numbers were dwindling. Hence, records prior to 1971 are very incomplete, although records from the past have been added ad hoc.
All records have been validated before they were published. Individual records contain the Dutch and scientific name as far as animals can be identified (in several cases, stranded individuals have been identified only down to 'group' (e.g. 'small whale'). Identifications have been adjusted when new information became available. Included with every single record, apart from species name, are date and location of stranding, sex, length, state of carcass, storage of remains, autopsied or not, references, photographs, and name of finder/reporter, if appropriate. Between 1 January 2006 - 16 January 2024 the database has been freely accessible at www.walvisstrandingen.nl and managed by Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. With the publication of the www.walvisstrandingen.nl-dataset with GBIF, all data concerning Dutch strandings until January 2024 are better searchable and the full set, or a selection, can be downloaded.
As of January 17, 2024, the dataset www.walvisstrandingen.nl has become a static dataset with 14392 strandings and 45 citations. Unfortunately the dataset will no longer be updated by Naturalis Biodiversity Center and the website www.walvisstrandingen.nl has been deactivated.
Enregistrements de données
Les données de cette ressource occurrence ont été publiées sous forme d'une Archive Darwin Core (Darwin Core Archive ou DwC-A), le format standard pour partager des données de biodiversité en tant qu'ensemble d'un ou plusieurs tableurs de données. Le tableur de données du cœur de standard (core) contient 14 392 enregistrements.
1 tableurs de données d'extension existent également. Un enregistrement d'extension fournit des informations supplémentaires sur un enregistrement du cœur de standard (core). Le nombre d'enregistrements dans chaque tableur de données d'extension est illustré ci-dessous.
Cet IPT archive les données et sert donc de dépôt de données. Les données et métadonnées de la ressource sont disponibles pour téléchargement dans la section téléchargements. Le tableau des versions liste les autres versions de chaque ressource rendues disponibles de façon publique et permet de tracer les modifications apportées à la ressource au fil du temps.

| Description du design | Historical records are (have been) taken from publications, unpublished reports (e.g. letters, manuscripts, diaries), zoological collections, paintings, photographs et cetera. Records of cetaceans that strand nowadays are collected by oral or written reports received ad hoc by people visiting the coast. Records reported to other public websites are copied. Vital in keeping records updated is the network of voluntary co-workers that visit the beach. This network has been erected and is maintained by Seal Centre Pieterburen. Important in validating length and sex of a subset of cetaceans (i.e. the ones collected for research on the cause of death) is cooperation with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Pathobiology of Utrecht University. All records of any sign of a stranded cetacean, also live strandings, carcasses of cetaceans brought in on the bulb of cargo ships, or loose skulls and bones, are included. Records of live sightings of cetaceans not stranded are not included. The database is updated at least once a week. Quality control. Individual records are assessed and validated by the database manager, preferably on basis of photographs. In case of doubt, observers are contacted by e-mail or telephone and asked for photographs and/or description. |
