Disclaimer about Mapped Data and Metadata

BerkeleyMapper displays content that is generated on external websites. Metadata, including Latitude and Longitude values, are passed to BerkeleyMapper, which in turn takes this data and plots it on a map. In cases where points are not correctly mapped, taxonomic names are incorrect, or any other metadata is incorrect, the issue most likely originated from the website that you used to call BerkeleyMapper. Feedback on suspected data issues should be directed to the maintainers of the calling website and not BerkeleyMapper.

Use of Image Data in Publications

BerkeleyMapper uses the Google Maps API and thus use of images from BerkeleyMapper fall under the Google Maps Terms of Service. Please follow the Google Maps Terms of Service Guidelines for the type of use (print, online, advertisement, ...) and also include the following citation for BerkeleyMapper:

BerkeleyMapper, created by Berkeley Natural History Museums, UC Berkeley at http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/_

In cases where IUCN Redlist polygons are displayed on the map, you must also cite the use of that data according to IUCN citation guidelines

Finally, if point data is displayed from the original calling application, please cite that as well as appropriate.
