This data base is used to identify core areas for conservation of hoverflies, named Prime Hoverfly Areas (PHA)Purpose
The data set was developed using long-term hoverfly monitoring data in order to report on their prevalence in Serbia and present spatial priorities for their conservationSampling Description
Study Extent
The sampling is done covering the whole Serbia, annualy for 35 yearsSampling
Sampling has been done using hand net and adult specimens were collected during peak flight period of the species expected for the area.Quality Control
The sampling was carefully planned respecting all the criteria for the samples to be representative. The samples were appropriately deposited at the Department of Biology and Ecology, University of Novi Sad. The determination of the specimens was done by expert.Method steps
- 1. Sampling method - it requires knowledge of species distribution and ecology (habitat preference etc.). The specimens were sampled using hand net and adequatelly stored after field work (low temperature 5°C). 2. Species determination, done by expert taxonimist 3. The specimens are stored in insect boxes and the data on their taxonomy and locality are inserted in the data base.
