Meetnetten.be - Feromone traps for saproxyle beetles in Flanders, Belgium

Meetnetten.be - Feromone traps for saproxyle beetles in Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the Meetnetten.be suite of monitoring networks for priority species in Flanders, in which data are collected at fixed locations using a standardized protocol (meetnetten.be). This dataset contains area count data for Elater ferrugineus, one priority beetle species.

Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location and sampling protocol (in the event core) and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded individuals, status (present/absent) and scientific name (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at github.com/inbo/meetnetten-occurrences/issuesGeneralized and/or withheld information: as these are sensitive priority species, location information is generalized to 5x5 km Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid cells.
