Dataset homepage

Citation

South West Scotland Environmental Information Centre (formerly DGERC) (2023). Odonata records for Dumfries and Galloway. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/ndoymm accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-06-09.

Description

Records of Odonata held in custodianship by DGERC.

Purpose

Data collected to inform the local distribution of Odonata.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

The data have been checked and verified as far as is reasonably possible.

Method steps

  1. The records originate from a variety of sources, including site surveys and ad-hoc records from the public.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The dataset primarily covers the county of Dumfries and Galloway (vice-counties 72 Dumfriesshire, 73 Kirkcudbrightshire and 74 Wigtownshire) there are a small number of records from neighbouring counties. The majority of records are captured at 6-figure resolution, however, records at a higher and lower resolution also occur. Geographical coverage of the records is likely to reflect recording effort rather than actual species distribution.
