Silphidae Recording Scheme - data verified via iRecord
Silphidae Recording Scheme
Description
This dataset contains species records for carrion, burying and sexton beetles and relatives (Coleoptera: Silphidae) that have been verified by the recording scheme. Records are from datasets made available for verification via iRecord - these records may originate from direct contribution of records to iRecord, or via other datasets that have been shared with iRecord for verification purposes.
Geographic Description
UK and Isle of Man
Purpose
Records are collated in order to add to knowledge of this group of insects, including distribution, population trends, autecology and phenology. In addition, the scheme works with all contrubuting recorders to raise the profile of the species group and its conservation. Sharing the data via NBN helps achieve these aims.
Data quality
The recording scheme operates checks for outlying records (based on species, location and date). The route by which data arrives for verification in iRecord can vary, and comes from recorders with a wide range of experience, but the same verification process is applied to all data and the scheme believes that the dataset provided to NBN is of high quality.
