Biological Station Wijster standard trapping program: Sampling event data for ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

This dataset contains the first part of the sampling-event level records of the extensive trapping program for ground beetles carried out at the Biological Station Wijster (The Netherlands), starting in 1959. Ground beetles were collected year-round using standardised pitfall traps in forests, heathlands and bogs. All specimens were identified to species level by taxonomic specialists (but see below for exceptions). Extensive cross-checking during the digitisation process guaranteed an error rate of <0.1%. In this first part, we present all sample event data for the years 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965 and 1966. This dataset consists of 45.486 records of 90.070 specimens from 135 species of ground beetles. Data from further years will be digitised and added in the future.

本数据集包含1959年起在荷兰Wijster生物站开展的地面甲虫大规模诱捕项目中，采样事件级记录的第一部分。研究人员在森林、石南荒地和沼泽中使用标准化陷阱诱捕器全年采集地面甲虫，所有标本均由分类学专家鉴定至物种水平（但例外情况见下文）。数字化过程中的大量交叉校验确保了错误率低于0.1%。本部分呈现了1959年、1961年、1963年、1965年及1966年的所有采样事件数据，包含135种地面甲虫的90,070份标本对应的45,486条记录。后续年份的数据将被数字化并在未来补充至本数据集。
