SEWBReC Beetles (South East Wales)

South East Wales Biodiversity Records Centre

Description

All beetle (Coleoptera) records held by SEWBReC for the South East Wales region.

Geographic Description

Primarily within the SEWBReC area (Glamorgan and Gwent) and intersecting with the SEWBReC boundary. There are however additional records from outside this area that have been entered using SEWBReCORD (our online recording webiste) as we maintain the top copy of these records.

Purpose

These records have been collated from a wide variety of sources both recent and historical.

Data quality

The data has been checked with NBN Records Cleaner (08/03/2016), which indicated that many of these records increase the known range for a number of species. Around 60% of the records have been passed to the VC41 County recorder for verification (there is no VC35 equivalent). These rest are largely unverified, although some will have been through the iRecord verification process. This dataset is also known to contain duplicates, both of data contained within ansd with other datasets currently available on Gateway. Work is continuing to remove these duplicates from future revisions to this dataset.

Methods

Data have been collated from a wide range of direct observation sources. Method and spatial accuracy of records vary by individual recorder.
