The Biological Resources Inventory (BRI) consists of 17 related tables, covering biological groupings (fish, invertebrates, plants, terrestrial vertebrates and even habitats), properties, data sources, and survey types. For each biological grouping, there are two tables. One lists all the species within an organismal grouping expected to occur in California (or in the case of habitats, all the habitat types expected to occur in California). The other links to a given species (in its respective organismal grouping) or habitat from the first table with a property number, and in some cases, provides further information about such details as the abundance, season and survey type. As expected there is also a table that links the property numbers used throughout the database with the actual property name. Our research indicates that this list of property names and numbers may not be up to date, nor reflect the names and property numbers used in the current lands inventory (more information about the Lands Inventory is available from Sharon Taylor, Lands Program- Sharon.Taylor@wildlife.ca.govor 916-323-7194). There are also several supporting tables that provide information about interpreting the codes used for abundance, season and survey type. While there are many entries in the BRI, most lack information about who, how, when and why they were obtained. We know data was collected from many sources and ranges in quality from first person direct observations made by CDFW personnel and partners, to regional bird and plant lists, to land management plans, to predicted occurrences from one of several nascent iterations of the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships program.Because of this variation, and our inability to understand the provenance or verify the accuracy of the data, we felt it prudent to only include the highest quality data from the BRI in the Biogeographic Information and Observation System (BIOS). This dataset is a subset of the information contained in the BRI database. It consists of direct observations made by CDFW staff or partners of fish, invertebrates, plants, terrestrial vertebrates and habitats from the BRI.While this is the best and likely most useful data contained in the BRI, we still have little supplemental information about the nature of these direct observations (date of observation, observer, reason for study or survey etc.), and as such urge the user to exercise caution in interpreting these data.

This dataset is a subset of the Tuolumne Aquatic Resources Relational Inventory (TARRI) compiled by Brian Quelvog, California Department of Fish and Game. The database focuses on fish, amphibians, insects, crustacean, and other invertebrates, and includes hydrologic information associated with collection sites in inland waterways located in Tuolumne County and the six surrounding counties (Calaveras, Stanislaus, Merced, Mariposa, Mono, and Alpine). Over seventy-five sources of information were used to develop the dataset including aquatic surveys by several agencies, file reports from the California Department of Fish and Game, personal communications, and research articles as well as museum records from institutions such as the California Academy of Sciences. Collection dates for some data are historical (back to 1889), but the majority range from 1979 to 2003. What each record represents Each record represents the collection, identification, and cataloging of one or more specimens of the given taxon under the location, time, and habitat conditions listed in the record.

This dataset is a subset of the Tuolumne Aquatic Resources Relational Inventory (TARRI) compiled by Brian Quelvog, California Department of Fish and Game. The database focuses on estimates of fish populations in the central Sierra Nevada counties specifically Tuolumne, Calaveras, Stanislaus, Mariposa, Mono, and Alpine counties. Information includes the number of individuals per species collected during each of two or three passes with backpack electrofisher(s), section length, section width, date, species sampled, the identifier, UTM coordinates, and (if available) photographs of the site. The species documented include rainbow and brown trout, centrachids such as bluegill and green sunfish, cyprinids such as roach and hitch, as well as other groups (eg. mosquitofish and catfish). Over seventy-five sources of information were used in making the data set including aquatic surveys by several agencies, although most of the information is contained in file reports from the California Department of Fish and Game. Collection dates range from 1979 to 2003. What each record represents Each record represents the collection, identification, and count of one species of fish during one of two or three passes with backpack electrofisher(s), the zone, water, site, UTM coordinates, date, and person or organization responsible for the survey.
