Observations of invasive exotic species transmitted and validated via the Sentinelle detection system. The dataset lists fauna and flora species concerning for Quebec's biodiversity, including both present and monitored species. Data is provided in multiple formats including GEOJSON, GPKG, and ESRI REST.

Use Cases

• Map species distribution and spread using spatial data from GEOJSON or GPKG files
• Analyze threat levels to Quebec's biodiversity by categorizing listed fauna and flora species
• Monitor the establishment of invasive exotic plants, animals, or microorganisms reported via the Sentinelle tool

Strengths

• Data is validated through the dedicated Sentinelle detection and transmission system
• Covers both invasive species present in Quebec and those under monitoring for potential threat
• Available in multiple spatial and document formats including GEOJSON, GPKG, PDF, and ESRI REST

Limitations

• Specific data volume, row count, and column schema are unknown, limiting analytical planning
• Reliance on automated translation for metadata may introduce terminology inconsistencies
