Description

This dataset contains species records for the eight species of Diptera covered by the recording scheme, and that have been verified by the recording scheme. Records are from datasets made available via the iRecord verification process - these records may originate from direct addition of records to iRecord, or via other datasets that have been made available via iRecord for verification purposes

Purpose

Records are collated in order to add to knowledge of this group of insects, including distribution, population trends, autecology and phenology. In addition, the scheme works with all contributing recorders to raise the profile of the species group and its conservation. Sharing the data via the NBN Atlas helps achieve these aims.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

The iRecord system has NBN record cleaner rules incorporated within it. In addition, the scheme operates further checks for outlying records (based on species, location and date). The route by which data arrives for verification in iRecord can vary, and comes from recorders with a wide range of experience, but the same verification process is applied to all data and the scheme believes that the dataset provided to NBN is of high quality.

Method steps

This dataset includes all records of Rhinophoridae that have been made available for verification via iRecord. Most of these are records from volunteer recorders, but also include data from professional surveys and from citizen science projects such as bioblitzes
