Abstract
Motivation: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included: The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain: BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km2 (158 cm2) to 100 km2 (1,000,000,000,000 cm2). Time period and grain: BioTIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement: BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates. Software format:.csv and.SQL.

Thanks to Daniel Oro and the Population Ecology research team at the Institut Mediterrani d'Estudis Avançats (IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB). M.L. was supported by a fellowship of Conselleria de Innovació, Hisenda i Economia (Govern de les Illes Balears). R.K., D.P. and J.M. acknowledge SOTEAG (Shetland Oil Terminal Environmental Advisory Group) for providing access to the dataset. We thank SOTEAG (Shetland Oil Terminal Advisory group) for providing data from the long term rocky shore monitoring programme after dataset. We thank Jake Goheen and Rob Pringle for providing data from the UHURU herbivore-exclusion experiment in central Kenya. J.S.M. thanks the Australian Research Council. J.S.M. thanks the staff of Lizard Island Research Station. F.P. would like to thank the Wasserversorgung Zurich for collecting and allowing access to the data. Data (C.H.D.) was sourced from the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS); IMOS is a national collaborative research infrastructure, supported by the Australian Government. J.M.A. would like to thank the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO), Pere Abelló, Luis Gil de Sola and Daniel Oro. M.T.Z.T. thanks Dr Ary Teixeira de Oliveira-Filho. I.H.M.-S. thanks the Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park management and, in particular, Cameron D. Eckert, Catherine Kennedy, Dorothy Cooley and Jill F. Johnstone for establishing the ITEX protocols for plant composition monitoring on Qikiqtaruk. We thank the Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park rangers for data collection logistical support, including in particular Richard Gordon, Edward McLeod, Sam McLeod, Ricky Joe, Paden Lennie, Deon Arey and LeeJohn Meyook. We thank the researchers and field assistants who helped with data collection, including Haydn Thomas, Sandra Angers-Blondie, Jakob Assmann, Meagan Grabowski, Catherine Henry, Annika Trimble, Louise Beveridge, Clara Flintrop, Santeri Lehtonen, Joe Boyle, John Godlee and Eleanor Walker. Funding was provided by the Yukon Government Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park and the U.K. Natural Environment Research Council ShrubTundra Grant NE/M016323/1. We thank the Inuvialuit People for the opportunity to conduct research on their traditional lands. L.H. and L.S.C. are grateful for the support of IPY, Memorial University and ArcticNet for funding. T.J.C. thanks the LIRS Trimodal Mapping Study. M.H. thanks the staff of Lizard Island Research Station. R.R.S. would like to thank E. E. de Assis, Santa Genebra and E. E. Caetetus and acknowledges funding from FAPESP (projetos temáticos: 1999/09635-0 and 2013/50718-5) and CNPq (Processo: 561897/2010). F.C. thanks SIBELCO Ltda. of Brazil for the logistic support in the accomplishment of the field work. We acknowledge the thousands of U.S. and Canadian volunteers who annually perform the North American Breeding Bird survey, as well as those who manage the program at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The term ‘Anthropocene’ is not formally recognized by the USGS as a description of geological time. We use it here informally. We hope that data providers will continue to share their data (and any new updates) with OBIS and GBIF and encourage them to correct any errors identified by BioTIME. D.A., D.J., K.K., T.V. acknowledges support from Czech Science Foundation, project No. 16-18022S and from Czech Ministry of Environment, project No. 170368. We thank Jan Wittoeck and other colleagues who assisted in the sampling and compilation of the macrobenthic data and the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office who funded MACROBEL through the programme ‘Sustainable management of the North Sea’ (SPSD I MN/02/96).

N2 - Motivation: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included: The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain: BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km2 (158 cm2) to 100 km2 (1,000,000,000,000 cm2). Time period and grain: BioTIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement: BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates. Software format:.csv and.SQL.
