Abstract

Abstract. It is with great pleasure that we introduce palsys.org (https://palsys.org/genus/, last access: 8 December 2023), a fully open-access taxonomic, stratigraphic and image database of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts. Palsys.org started as the in-house database of the Laboratory of Palaeobotany and Palynology (LPP) Foundation over 30 years ago. It is now owned by Utrecht University and has been expanded and transformed into a public online platform for use in research and education. Palsys.org includes the taxonomic descriptions of genera and species of organic walled dinoflagellate cysts, from the (often translated) literature, and emendations and synonymy, mainly following Williams et al. (2017) and the stratigraphic calibrations from DINOSTRAT (Bijl, 2022), and has around 25 000 images of species. Here, in this launch paper, we explain the history of the database, present its current functionalities and explain our set-up of the data quality control. We call upon the community to help us keep palsys.org up to date and complete by, for example, by sending additional information, imagery and feedback in general through the platform. Palsys.org brings dinoflagellate micropaleontology in line with the open-science principles of modern academia.

Palsys.org：开放式有机壁甲藻囊胞分类和地层数据库

摘要我们非常高兴地向您介绍 palsys.org（https://palsys.org/genus/，最后访问日期：2023 年 12 月 8 日），这是一个完全开放的有机壁甲藻孢囊分类、地层和图像数据库。30 多年前，Palsys.org 开始作为古植物学和古生物学实验室（LPP）基金会的内部数据库。现在，该数据库归乌得勒支大学所有，并已扩展和转变为一个用于研究和教育的公共在线平台。Palsys.org包括有机壁甲藻孢囊属和种的分类学描述（通常为翻译文献），以及主要根据Williams等人（2017年）和DINOSTRAT（Bijl，2022年）的地层校准进行的修正和同义词，并拥有约25000张物种图片。在这篇启动论文中，我们将介绍该数据库的历史，介绍其当前的功能，并说明我们对数据质量控制的设置。我们呼吁社会各界帮助我们保持 Palsys.org 的更新和完整，例如，通过该平台发送更多信息、图像和反馈。Palsys.org 使甲藻微古生物学符合现代学术界的开放科学原则。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Micropalaeontology (JM) is an established international journal covering all aspects of microfossils and their application to both applied studies and basic research. In particular we welcome submissions relating to microfossils and their application to palaeoceanography, palaeoclimatology, palaeobiology, evolution, taxonomy, environmental change and molecular phylogeny.
