Description

This occurrence dataset comes from the 'objective 1000' project, in which the entomofauna of the Jean Massart Botanical Garden was studied during the period 2015-2021, following initial entomological prospectings in 2013-2014 led by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS). The aim of this project was to inventory 1000 species of insects and spiders on the site. In addition to traditional censuses such as direct observation, dragging the herb layer and the use of a beater screen, the use several other collection methods such as light traps has been possible, thanks to the involvement of Brussels environment. This dataset focuses on the Neuropterida species observed during this site inventory. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any question or remark regarding the objective 1000 project or this dataset content.

Sampling Methods

During this study, Neuropterida were mainly captured by beating the vegetation, by using a sweep net and by trapping: bottle traps, unbaited or baited with red wine or vinegar, Malaise traps, interception traps and light traps.

Study Extent The inventory of the entomofauna of the Jean Massart Botanical Garden ( 5.2 ha in size) has been carried out over the period 2015-2021.

Method step description:

  1. Observations and catches are gathered into raw files.
  2. Transformation to Darwin Core and GBIF publication.
