Description

These occurrence records have been extracted and mobilized from archival documents held by the Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University. The primary source material from which the dataset stems consist of standardized, typed insect inventories carried out by students and teachers at Uppsala University as part of entomology courses held over a period of nearly 50 years, from 1948 to 1996. The occurrence records are sorted by sampling events, each containing precise information on time and place of sampling. The current dataset covers insect inventories carried out at two of the thirty sampling locations (Botaniska Trädgården and Hässelby). As digitization and data extraction work progresses, further locations and sampling events will be added to the dataset.
