Records from iRecord not covered by a national recording scheme
Biological Records Centre
Description
This dataset contains records collated via iRecord for a taxon groups that are not included in any national recording scheme. Most of the records are unverified and this must be taken into account in any use of this data. At June 2024 this dataset contains records for two taxon groups: stylops (Strepsiptera); and thrips (Thysanoptera).
Geographic Description
Mostly from the UK
Purpose
This dataset makes available records for selected taxon groups that are not covered by national recording schemes, in order to share potentially useful data on species that are generally poorly-known.
Data quality
For the most part the records are unverified, since there are no relevant national recording schemes for these families. A small proportion have been verified by verifiers for particular counties or projects. The records are likely to be a mix, with some from experienced recorders, and some from more inexperienced recorders. Users of this data should ensure that they take this into account.
Methods
This dataset includes records of taxon groups that have been made available via iRecord, but for which no full national recording scheme exists. Most of these are ad hoc records from volunteer recorders, but may also include data from professional surveys and from citizen science projects such as bioblitzes.
