Description

This is Malawi's Geometridae biodiversity data as recorded by Raymond Murphy. He has been collecting in Malawi in a number of places in all the regions. Some of his specimens have been to The Department of Museums and Monuments at Top Mandala in Blantyre.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This is Biodiversity data collected by Raymond Murphy for various places in Malawi. It has been mobilised as part of a BID project titled Strengthening Malawi's Biodiversity Information Facility.

Sampling

The approach is to mobilize, digitize and publish the selected biodiversity datasets. The developing database will be published online from the outset and then regularly updated. A website will also be created and linked to the database; providing access to reliable biodiversity information for research and natural resources management.

Method steps

  1. The approach is to mobilize, digitize and publish the selected biodiversity datasets. The developing database will be published online from the outset and then regularly updated. A website will also be created and linked to the database; providing access to reliable biodiversity information for research and natural resources management.
