Annotated checklist of the beetles of the broadleaved forest Bosco Pennataro, Central Italy

The checklist contains 226 species of beetles which belong to 47 families. The species were collected during a field study carried out in the years 2014 and 2015 and aimed at describing the community of beetles. The collection methods consisted of window flight traps and emergence traps. The study area, named Bosco Pennataro, is broadleaved mixed forest dominated by <em>Quercus cerris</em>, located in the Italian Central Apennines and part of the MaB United Nations Environmental, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Reserve of “Collemeluccio-Montedimezzo-Alto Molise. The checklist is annotated with information on the taxonomy of the species (order and family), number of individuals, geographic position, habitat type (following EUNIS habitat classification 2017), sampling protocol, collector name, specialist name, IUCN Red List categories of the saproxylic species (Carpaneto et al. 2015). The terms used for the dataset fields follows the Darwin Core Maintenance Group. 2020. List of Darwin Core terms. Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG). https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/ The relationships between abundance of saproxylic beetles and stand structure and the diversity patterns of beetle species have been based on this dataset and published (Parisi et al. 2019, 2020). The harmonization of the dataset to the point of view of taxa, authorship, LSID and the massive upgrading of the related identifiers in Zenodo record was performed by the use of R script using respectively dplyr, taxize (Chamberlain and Szöcs, 2013) and zen4r (Blondel and Barde, 2020) packages .本甲虫名录共收录47科226种甲虫。所有物种采集自2014至2015年开展的野外研究，该研究旨在记述该区域的甲虫群落组成。本次采样采用了窗式飞行诱捕器与羽化诱捕器两种采集方法。研究区域为博斯科·彭纳塔罗森林（Bosco Pennataro），是一片以土耳其栎（*Quercus cerris*）为优势种的阔叶混交林，地处意大利亚平宁山脉中部，隶属于联合国教育、科学及文化组织（UNESCO）“科莱梅卢乔-蒙泰迪梅佐-阿尔托莫利塞”人与生物圈（MaB）保护区。本名录附带详细注释信息，包括物种分类学资料（目、科）、个体数量、地理坐标、栖息地类型（遵循2017年欧洲生境信息系统（EUNIS）栖息地分类标准）、采样方案、采集者姓名、专业鉴定者姓名，以及蛀木性甲虫（saproxylic beetles）的IUCN红色名录等级（Carpaneto等，2015）。本数据集所使用的字段术语遵循《达尔文核心（Darwin Core）术语列表》（达尔文核心维护组，2020，*List of Darwin Core Terms*. 生物多样性信息标准组织（TDWG），https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/）。已有研究基于本数据集开展了蛀木性甲虫种群丰度与林分结构的关联分析，以及甲虫物种多样性格局研究，相关成果已发表（Parisi等，2019、2020）。本数据集在类群标准化、著作权归属、生命科学标识符（LSID）规范，以及Zenodo平台记录中相关标识符的大规模更新等工作，均通过R语言脚本完成，分别调用了dplyr、taxize（Chamberlain与Szöcs，2013）及zen4r（Blondel与Barde，2020）R包。
