Description

The major part of the database contains faunistic data extracted from the Curculionidae collection of the late prof. Stanisław Smreczyński who was the world renown specialist on this group of coleopterans. Most of the specimens come from the present areas of Poland and Ukraine albeit with a significant admixture of European fauna. The majority of them have been collected in the first half of the XX century. The second much smaller part of the database contains data on the family Chrysomelidae from Poland. In total, the database consists of more than 40.000 unique faunistic records extracted from dry, pinned specimens (approximately 34.000 of Curculionidae and 6.000 of Chrysomelidae).tórzyć sekcję i dodać kolejne akapity

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 40,776 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data

The dataset resulted from the digitization project IMBIO, supported by the Operational Programme Digital Poland in 2020-2023. The IMBIO project is the most extensive Polish enterprise of natural data digitization, with respect to its range, complexity and volume of the processed content. There is 18 participant institutions with the University of Warsaw as a leader. The project delivered 9.5 million of occurrence records, c.a. 2 million of which are based on specimens deposited in collections, and the remaining data derived from other types of scientific sources: card files, legacy materials and bibliography, publicly unavailable older databases. Integration of these resources has made them accessible and searchable. The access platform is the new version of the Biodiversity Map portal (BioMap, https://portal.biomap.pl), while externally the resources are published via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
