Description

We provide a database on the distribution of Ibero-Balearic arthropods (the IberArthro database) belonging to 10 taxonomic groups: Coleoptera (Aquatic), Coleoptera (Scarabaeoidea), Collembola, Hymenoptera (Apoidea), Lepidoptera (Noctuoidea), Lepidoptera (Papilionoidea), Neuropterida, Opiliones, Plecoptera and Trichoptera. The database contains 1,006,768 records with associated geographic data (at 10 × 10 km grid squares), compiled from various sources and validated by specialists in each group.

Purpose

Arthropods conservation.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Including all available distributional data from the Iberian Peninsula (Andorra, Peninsular Spain, Portugal, UK Gibraltar and north face of the French Pyrenees) and Balearic Islands (Spain). Coordinates: 35°23'60"N and 43°58'48"N Latitude; 10°2'24"W and 4°48'36"ELongitude.

Sampling

The records come from the literature, as well as from museum and private collections, PhD theses, own sampling and other unpublished sources.

Quality Control

All records have been checked and validated by the expert taxonomists of each group.

Method steps

Including all distributional data available since 1784 on arthropods of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands.

Taxonomic Coverages

The database has 10 differentiated taxonomic groups of arthropods. Currently we have different kinds of insects and arachnids grouped as follows: Coleoptera (Aquatic); Coleóptera, Scarabaeoidea; Collembola; Hymenoptera, Apoidea; Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea; Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea; Neuropterida; Opiliones; Plecoptera; Trichoptera. In the column ‘remarksTaxon’ of this database it is possible to filter by the mentioned groups. The suborder Neuropterida includes the orders Raphidioptera, Megaloptera and Neuroptera. Aquatics beetles include species from the suborders Adephaga, Polyphaga and Myxophaga. Scarabaidae coleoptera refer to coprophilous beetles or dung beetles.
