Description

The dataset contains a list of beetles of the families Staphylinidae and Tenebrionidae collected and known from the territory of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. It includes both the author's own collections made in 2001-2013, as well as collections of Severov I. H. (Rubizhne, Sievierodonetsk), Kondratenko O. V. and Foroschuk V. P. (Luhansk) made in 1998-2003.

Data Records

The data in this occurrence 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 2,388 records.

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.

Project Data

The project is aimed on collecting, digitalization and preservation of data on biodiversity records in Ukraine.

Title Preservation of Scientific Heritage of Nature Reserves and National Parks Affected by the War
Identifier 09-12-2024
Funding The project was implemented by the Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group with the support of the Goethe-Institut Ukraine, part of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Ukraine

The personnel involved in the project:

Olexiy Vasyliuk

Sampling Methods

For the beetles collecting, the methods of manual collecting were used by disassembling organic residues, sifting the soil, Barber traps, attracting to the light of mercury arc lamps with a power of 250 and 500 W, etc. In most cases, species identification was carried out by the author personally in 2010-2013, according to well-known methods of entomological research, mainly by the structure of the genital apparatus.

Study Extent The dataset contains a list of beetles of the families Staphylinidae and Tenebrionidae collected and known from the territory of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine. It includes both the author's own collections made in 2001-2013, as well as collections of Severov I. H. (Rubizhne, Sievierodonetsk), Kondratenko O. V. and Foroschuk V. P. (Luhansk) made in 1968-2003.
Quality Control The author is a known entomologist speciealised in the beetles' fauna of the studied region, which is confirmed by numerous scientific publications with his authorship.

Method step description:

  1. Colelcting of material and its preservation as dry examples.
  2. Species identification.
  3. Filling in the informational labels.
  4. Extracting information from the labels into an Excel spreadsheet.
  5. Georeferencing.
  6. Organising of the dataset according to the Darwin Core standards.
