Description
The dataset includes beetle species caught in window traps in 5 old forests fragments in southern Norway and 1 in Southern Sweden. Five traps were used per forest and sampling occurred from mid May to mid August 2014 at 4 out of the 6 sites. The two remaining sites were sampled from mid June to mid August. In addition to the traps, the dataset includes insect species hathced from 114 polypore Fomitopsis pinicola collected in the same areas. There is also data on insects from 5 Fomitopsis rosea. Both beetles and parasitoids are identified to species.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 7 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
