Edible Insects Collection of the Natural History Museum Bulawayo (NMZB), Zimbabwe Occurrence dataset

Data on edible insect specimens available at the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe, generated using the world catalogue of edible insects and other sources including personal communication. This was generated as part of a project to detect knowledge gaps in the data that is available in our Natural History Museum collection. Useable data were available for 40 of the edible insect species in Zimbabwe that have some representation in the collections of the Natural History Museum collection of Zimbabwe. Some taxa of edible insects lack representation in the collections.

本数据集收集于津巴布韦自然历史博物馆，涉及可食用昆虫标本，数据来源于全球可食用昆虫目录及其他资料，包括个人交流所得。该数据集的生成是为了检测我馆自然历史藏品中数据存在的知识空白。在津巴布韦，共有40种具有代表性的可食用昆虫物种的数据可用，这些物种在津巴布韦自然历史博物馆藏品中有所收录。然而，部分可食用昆虫的分类在藏品中并未得到体现。
