Description
The aim of the present data set is to provide all information of the records of small mammals and other prey from barn owl pellets identified by Libois (1984) and other authors cited (Asselberg 1971, Cornet et al. 1980, De Laender 1980, Delmée et al. 1979, De Piere 1972, Fobert et al. 1972, Hubeau 1981, Laukens 1968, Parmentier & Claus 1976, Van Beirs 1971, Van Winkel 1966, Van Winkel 1975, Van Winkel et al. 1967).
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 3,250 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.

| Quality Control | Most taxonomic identification are the work of Roland LIBOIS (University of Liège), or are published by other authors (Asselberg 1971, Cornet et al. 1980, De Laender 1980, Delmée et al. 1979, De Piere 1972, Fobert et al. 1972, Hubeau 1981, Laukens 1968, Parmentier & Claus 1976, Van Beirs 1971, Van Winkel 1966, Van Winkel 1975, Van Winkel et al. 1967). Georeferencing has been validated using a double-check of CGRS/UTM squares. |
