Dataset homepage

Citation

Royal Horticultural Society (2018). RHS berberis sawfly (Arge berberidis) monitoring. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/rxjz7m accessed via GBIF.org on 2021-03-02.

Description

The data set consists of records for the berberis sawfly (Arge berberidis) for the UK gathered by the Royal Horticultural Society, from members of the Society and the general public. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=645

Purpose

Data have been collected as part of the surveying work of the Royal Horticultural Society to establish the distribution and spread of berberis sawfly, an invasive garden pest of Berberis and Mahonia, which probably became established in the UK in 2000.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Data quality is good, but coverage pre May 2008 is predominantly limited to Royal Horticultural Society members. Records are verified by RHS entomologists based on samples or descriptions (primarily host plant and description of damage) provided to the Advisory Service enquiries or on the on-line form.

Method steps

  1. Records of berberis sawfly have been collected via the Royal Horticultural Society Advisory Service (predominantly from RHS members) and from the general public via an on-line recording form on the project website http://www.rhs.org.uk/Science/Plant-pests/Berberis-sawfly & https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=645

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The survey aims for UK coverage. A majority of records are at 1km or better resolution.
