Heteroptera: Records for Kent

Dataset homepage

Citation

Kent & Medway Biological Records Centre (2022). Heteroptera: Records for Kent. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/xff0ka accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-07-20.

Description

Heteroptera: Records administered by the KMBRC.

Purpose

These records have been collected under several different surveys. Some for the purposes of EIA, others as part of Kent recorder's activities.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

These records have been checked as far as is possible by KMBRC. The data has been passed through the NBN Record Cleaner and cleansed of all date and spatial reference errors. The data is mostly from reknowned local entomologists and some national specialists and so their determinations are presumed to be good, however; the validation rules for terrestrial and aquatic heteroptera have been run and the errors produced saved and are available on request.

Method steps

  1. The records are made up of species observations made by volunteers and submitted to Kent's Regional Recorders.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Mostly for Kent.
