This dataset is composed of firefly (Lampyridae) survey data collected by Dr. Jen-son Ho during his life-time service in the Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute (TESRI). The raw data was reinterpreted and converted into DwC data format by Taiwan Biodiversity Network (TBN).Sampling Description
Study Extent
Occurrence records in this dataset are mainly from Taiwan and its main surrounding islands, with a few records collected in US and Japan.Sampling
Original observations are recorded with identification of species, observation date, spatial locations, individual counts, life stage, gender, temperature, humidity, and the name of the recorder. Some individuals were captured and measured, with measurement data (body length, body width) provided in the Measurement or Fact extension.Method steps
- For spatial locations without coordinates, we assigned the coordinates by rounding to the nearest land mark based on the information in the location fields, and provided an estimate of spatial uncertainty in the uncertaintyInMeters field.
