Comment Miscellaneous information about the data, not captured elsewhere. From 193 species listed in the Annex I of the Birds Directive, we found data for 168 species through the species occurrence cubes generation. The 25 remaining species, using the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy, are:
- Subspecies that are not identified by the speciesKey in the JSON query (20 species; Accipiter gentilis, Accipiter nisus, Anser albifrons, Calidris alpina, Certhia brachydactyla, Columba palumbus, Dendrocopos major, Dendrocopos major, Ardea alba, Fringilla coelebs, Gelochelidon nilotica, Lagopus muta, Lagopus muta, Periparus ater, Perdix perdix, Perdix perdix, Phalacrocorax aristotelis, Lyrurus tetrix, Troglodytes troglodytes, Uria aalge). - Species from the Canary Islands (4 species; Columba bollii, Columba junoniae, Fringilla teydea, Saxicola dacotiae) or the Azores (1 species; Pyrrhula murina).

25 species were considered SYNONYMS by the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy, so we used the acceptedUsageKey that corresponds to the ACCEPTED scientific name by GBIF. Below the list of scientific names by the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy and in square brackets the name by the Birds Directive:

- Sternula albifrons (Pallas, 1764) from 7192406 (old) to 5789279 (new)
