Description

This resource contains spatial data on occurences of endemic taxa of beetles registered/collected on high altitude habitats on mountains from the Western Balkans. Data were compiled within the List of Selected Endemic Terrestrial Plant and Animal Taxa of South-East Europe. Support for developing this list was provided by the Open Regional Fund for South-East Europe – Biodiversity (GIZ/ORF-BD), as part of its sub-project „Regional Network for Biodiversity Information Management and Reporting (BIMR), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

We compiled data on occurrence of high altitude taxa of beetles that were extracted from literature as well as listing specimens from relevant official and private collections.

Sampling

The data consists of a determination of recorded specimens, relevant attributes of a particular collecting event and data on housing of the collected specimens.

Method steps

  1. We compiled data on occurrence of high altitude taxa of beetles that were extracted from literature as well as listing specimens from relevant official and private collections. The data consists of a determination of recorded specimens, relevant attributes of a particular collecting event and data on housing of the collected specimens.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The main area of interest is focused to the non-EU countries/economies from the western Balkan peninsula: Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia but also from bordering areas with neighboring countries: Croatia, Greece and Bulgaria.
