Sawfly (Symphyta) records from iRecord

Quality Control

The iRecord system has NBN record cleaner rules incorporated within it. In addition, verifiers operate further checks for outlying records (based on species, location and date). All data is subject to the same verification checking, which aims to ensure that any record that is unusual (due to time of year, location, or species identified) is queried, and only accepted if supporting evidence (photo, specimen, confirmation from additional recorders) is provided. All records are checked, and we believe that a high degree of confidence can be placed in this data; however, we cannot guarantee that all records which pass the verification checks are correct.

Method steps

1. This dataset includes records of sawflies that have been made available for verification via iRecord. Most of these are ad hoc records from volunteer recorders, but may also include data from professionsl surveys and from citizen science projects such as bioblitzes.
