Description

This dataset contains the details of New Zealand Flatworm sightings from across the UK. This data was submitted to OPAL by citizen scientists taking part in the OPAL New Zealand Flatworm Survey (https://www.opalexplorenature.org/nzflatworm). All occurrences in this dataset have been verified by taxonomists at Aberdeen University and/or The James Hutton Institute, using photographs submitted with the survey response and/or sufficiently detailed descriptions of the flatworm submitted with the survey response.

This dataset only contains details of confirmed sightings of the New Zealand Flatworm. As such, this dataset is only subset of the full OPAL New Zealand Flatworm Survey dataset. If you would like to obtain access to the full New Zealand Flatworm Survey dataset, please get in touch with OPAL using the contact details listed below.

Data quality

All occurrences in this dataset have been verified by taxonomists at Aberdeen University and/or The James Hutton Institute, using photographs submitted with the survey response and/or sufficiently detailed descriptions of the New Zealand flatworm submitted with the survey response.

Methods

These sightings were made by citizen scientists taking part in the OPAL New Zealand Flatworm Survey. (https://www.opalexplorenature.org/nzflatworm). Those taking part in the survey are instructed to spend 10 minutes searching for New Zealand Flatworms in their local outdoor space and to look in dark, damp places such as under wood, stones and plastic, or on soil. Some records may be casual sightings rather than from carrying out the OPAL survey.
