Citation

KWADJO K E, KODJO A T T, BOLOU BI E, N'GORAN K S B (2023). Beetles occurrence data from Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Niger four countries in west Africa. Centre National de Floristique. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/xxmkjm accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-05-23.

Description

Data on beetles work from articles, reports and dissertations in Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana and Niger.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Different regions and agroecosystems from Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Niger.

Sampling

Mobilization biodiversity data from scientific publications (articles, dissertations and reports).

Quality Control

After data entry, a taxonomic correction is made using the GBIF API software. For the geolocation of species, the geolocate software was used to determine the geographical coordinates.

Method steps

  1. Three steps: mobilization, extension of good practices in mobilizing and digitizing data on biodiversity and publication.
