Checklist of the arthropod fauna of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range (Almería and Granada, Spain)

This dataset contains the list of taxa of the arthropod fauna of Sierra Nevada Mountain range (Almería & Granada, Spain) presented in the form of a table adapted to the standard Darwin Core format. It includes the arthropod species and subspecies cited for the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, as well as their corresponding genera and families, with a total of 3953 records represented as 6 classes, 33 orders, 268 families, 1884 genera and 3940 species (of which 169 are endemic). Some species whose presence is not fully confirmed (86) have also been included. The main source we have used is the book Ruano et al. 2013, “Los Insectos de Sierra Nevada. 200 años de historia". Moreover, we have completed the list with those taxa cited in the scientific literature after the publication of this book, or not included in it (see Bibliography section). We have checked all the taxa names with the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy tool and, when not found in this database, with the Iberian Fauna Data Bank (http://iberfauna.mncn.csic.es/). When it was impossible to find the taxa with the cited tools, we consulted the opinion of the corresponding Iberian group's specialist. In any case, the criteria of coherence, relevance and topicality have always been considered. Part of this material belongs to the scientific collections of the Zoology Department of the University of Granada and can be accessed at https://ccz.ugr.es/.本数据集收录了西班牙阿尔梅里亚省与格拉纳达省境内内华达山脉（Sierra Nevada）节肢动物区系的类群列表，以适配达尔文核心（Darwin Core）标准格式的表格形式呈现。本数据集涵盖该区域已报道的节肢动物物种、亚种，以及其对应的属与科，总计包含3953条记录，涉及6纲、33目、268科、1884属及3940种，其中169种为特有种。此外，本数据集还纳入了86种存在性尚未完全证实的物种。 本数据集的核心参考资料为Ruano等人2013年出版的《内华达山脉昆虫：200年研究史》（*Los Insectos de Sierra Nevada. 200 años de historia*）。此外，我们还补充了该书出版后科学文献中报道的类群，以及该书未收录的类群（详见参考文献章节）。 本研究已通过GBIF骨干分类学（GBIF Backbone Taxonomy）工具核查所有类群名称，若该数据库中未收录对应类群，则通过伊比利亚动物区系数据库（Iberian Fauna Data Bank，http://iberfauna.mncn.csic.es/）进行二次核查。若通过上述工具仍无法检索到目标类群，则咨询伊比利亚类群对应专家的专业意见。所有核查流程均始终遵循一致性、相关性与时新性的遴选标准。 本数据集部分材料源自格拉纳达大学动物学系的科学馆藏，可通过https://ccz.ugr.es/访问获取。
