It provides ornithological data gathered by Aves between 1960 and 1990. Since the early sixties, Aves, the bird study and protection society in French-speaking Belgium, now part of Natagora asbl, is collecting bird observation data in Belgium (almost exclusively in Wallonia and Brussels regions). Bird observation data in Aves collection are essentially generatedby \"broad-scale surveys\" in the sense of (Kelling, 2008) : data are collected mostly by volunteers, outside a strict experimental hypothesis-testing framework.

The BCCM/ULC collection is hosted by the Centre for Protein Engineering (the Unit) of the University of Liège. The host Unit is very active in research projects concerning the cyanobacterial diversity and biogeography, with a focus on polar biotopes. The approach used is polyphasic, including the isolation of strains and culture-independent methods (DGGE, clone libraries, pyrosequencing based on the ribosomal operon sequences). The participation to field expeditions in the Antarctic and Arctic has enabled to collect samples in many locations.
""" ; dcat:keyword "Metadata" ; dcat:theme'DEMNA-DNE : Wild mammals in Wallonia' is a presence-only occurrence dataset maintained by the Département d'Etude du Milieu Naturel et Agricole (SPW-DGARNE-DEMNA). It contains validated mammal records from the department encoding system (Observatoire Faune Flore Habitats -OFFH - https://observatoire.biodiversite.wallonie.be/encodage/).
Bats are excluded from this dataset, as are non-native mammals observations, that are published through other dedicated datasets :
-DEMNA-DNE : Exotic animal occurrences in Wallonia, Belgium - https://doi.org/10.15468/bcuhep
-DEMNA-DNE : Early warning system on Introduced Species in Wallonia - https://doi.org/10.15468/dc2dyg
Sensitive species or confidential observations are made available with a reduced accuracy (4 km x 4 km IFBL ; 10km x10km for Lutra lutra). Thus the georeferencing should mostly rely on the DwC term 'footPrintWKT' for a detailled cartography of the dataset as it contains both point and polygon verbatim positioning.
Returns on the dataset are more than welcome. Motivated request for unshared content or accurate records for sensitive species can be adressed at https://observatoire.biodiversite.wallonie.be/cmdd/.

Gracillariid moths are generally distributed throughout the world except Antarctica, and they are more numerous in tropical areas. Many species of Gracillariidae are serious pests of agricultural and ornamental plants. The Global Taxonomic Database of Gracillariidae currently holds information on 147 genus-group names and in total 2.683 species-group names, belonging to 105 genera.
" ; dcat:keyword "Checklist" ; dcat:themeThe Manual of the Alien Plants of Belgium is a species checklist dataset published by the Botanic Garden Meise. It contains information on all (over 2.500) non-native vascular plants occurring in the wild in Belgium since 1800. The checklist is almost entirely based on a thorough herbarium revision of the main public Belgian herbaria (Verloove 2006), actively maintained, and updated regularly at Verloove (2018, http://alienplantsbelgium.be). Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each species: the scientific name, kingdom, family, stable taxon identifier, and IPNI (2018) scientific name ID where available (in the taxon core), the degree of establishment, pathway(s), year of first introduction and last observation in Belgium as well as the presence in Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region (in the distribution extension), coarse habitat information (in the species profile extension), and the native range(s) (in the description extension). The dataset can be used for researching and managing alien plants or compiling regional and national registries of alien species.

This dataset was published as open data for the TrIAS project (Tracking Invasive Alien Species http://trias-project.be, Vanderhoeven et al. 2017), with technical support provided by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It is selected as one of the authoritative sources for the compilation of a unified and reproducible checklist of alien species in Belgium.

The recent notifications of autochthonous transmission of dengue fever and chikungunya fever cases in Europe show its vulnerability to these diseases in areas where the vector, the invasive mosquito Aedes albopictus , is present. Strengthening surveillance of exotic mosquito species such as Ae. albopictus , Aedes aegypti , Aedes atropalpus , Aedes japonicus , Aedes koreicus and Aedes triseriatus , in areas at risk of importation or spread of mosquitoes and risk of virus transmission is therefore required. This is particularly important in the context of environmental and climate changes which might allow an increase of vector populations and virus amplification. The collection of information and data on vectors of public health (PH) significance are of crucial importance to understand the levels of risk that countries face, and to define the actions that need to be taken. All the occurrences are collected during a surveillance study in 2012. All info here: Deblauwe I., Sohier C., Coosemans M. 2012.

The majority of the data was collected between 2008 and 2010 in a participative way thanks to all the partners of Contrat Rivière Dyle-Gette (CRDG), the coordination of this large-scale inventory being ensured by the Coordination Unit at CRDG. Other data came of course to complete and specify this first inventory according to the multiple activities of the CRDG partnership and following the new detections made during the operations of management of the invasive alien species set up annually on the whole sub-basin since summer 2010.
