Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Natural science

   Done: taxon range (P9714) (Talk and documentation)

Description	geographic areas where a taxon may be found
Represents	range
Data type	Item
Domain	taxon
Allowed values	(territorial entity)
Example 1	Pionus menstruus -> Costa Rica(Q800), Venezuela(Q717), Bolívia (Q750) e Brasil (Q155)
Example 2	Leontopithecus chrysomelas -> Minas Gerais (Q39109), Bahia (Q40430)
Example 3	Makaira nigricans -> Atlantic Ocean (Q97)
Planned use	Be used to include at all endangered species of Brazil.
See also	taxon range map image (P181): range map of a taxon endemic to (P183): sole location or habitat type where the taxon lives invasive to (P5588): region which a taxon is not endemic to where the taxon has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health habitat (P2974): the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds a species population

Motivation

This is very important data to better understand what are species of a determinate region, we only have a non-structured information right now, the map of rage P181. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 19:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

To improve the localization of species, this property have a significant educational value, allowing filters of regions that have the presence of species. Different from endemic (Property:P183, that is exclusive of one area. (Moved from description ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:17, 8 June 2021 (UTC))

•  Comment as taxon range map image (P181) is currently called "taxon range image map", maybe this should be called "taxon range", not just "range". --- Jura 15:15, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment The current implementation of taxa range neglects the temporal component. A taxa range is spatio-temporal and thus should have a start & end datetime and a geographic extent. 7yl4r (talk) 21:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
