Database of endemic and/or threatened Orthoptera species in the Natura 2000 sites of Greece.

Scientific context Greece hosts 378 Orthoptera species (35% of Europe), with 140 species to be endemic in Greece and 139 species to be endangered after IUCN criteria. One fourth of the Greek orthoptera fauna is endemic and endangered. The Greek biodiversity law 3937/31-3-2011 provides protection to all the above species as “species included in the national and international red-lists, or “endemic species” (Article 11: conservation of endemic biodiversity) Description The database presents the occurrence of 145 Orthoptera species in 186 terrestrial Natura 2000 sites of Greece. The selected species presented are: (a) threatened according to IUCN criteria European level: Critically Endangered-CR, Endangered-EN, Vulnerable-VU and Near Threatened-N, (b) endemic in Greece or (c) both threatened and endemic in Greece. The conservation status of the species is provided by the European Red List of Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Bush-crickets [1]. The species occurrence data are provided by the book “The Grasshoppers of Greece” [2] plus unpublished data from the contributors (Willemse, L., Kati, V. 2019, 2020). The database includes 1553 records of known localities of species occurrence. Significance, use, limitations The database can be used: As a reference database for Environmental Impact Assessment Studies and Special Ecological Studies in Natura 2000 sites. To promote grasshopper research, conservation, monitoring, and encourage citizen-science in Natura 2000 network. The database needs regular updating. While the species occurrence in Natura 2000 sites is considered reliable, the background map was of medium confidence: species occurrences were mapped after exact GPS coordinates or locality description (less accurate).

科学背景 希腊境内分布有378种直翅目（Orthoptera）昆虫，占欧洲直翅目物种总数的35%，其中140种为希腊特有物种，另有139种符合世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）濒危等级标准。四分之一的希腊直翅目类群同时为特有种与受威胁物种。希腊于2011年3月31日颁布的第3937/2011号生物多样性法，将上述物种纳入“纳入国家及国际红色名录的物种”或“特有物种”范畴予以保护（第11条：特有生物多样性保护）。

数据集概况 本数据集收录了希腊186个陆地类Natura 2000（Natura 2000）保护地中145种直翅目昆虫的分布记录。所选物种需满足以下任一条件：(a) 符合IUCN标准的欧洲级受威胁物种：极危（CR）、濒危（EN）、易危（VU）及近危（NT）；(b) 希腊特有物种；或(c) 同时为受威胁物种与希腊特有物种。本数据集的物种保护等级源自《欧洲蝗虫、蟋蟀及螽斯红色名录》[1]。物种分布数据源自专著《希腊蝗虫》[2]及贡献者未公开的调查数据（Willemse, L., Kati, V. 2019, 2020）。本数据集共包含1553条已知物种分布点位记录。

数据集意义、用途与局限性 本数据集可应用于以下场景：1. 作为Natura 2000保护地环境影响评价与专项生态研究的参考数据库；2. 推动直翅目昆虫的研究、保护与监测工作，并鼓励Natura 2000保护网络中的公民科学参与。本数据集需定期更新。尽管数据集内的Natura 2000保护地物种分布记录可信度较高，但背景底图精度为中等：物种分布点位通过精确GPS坐标或精度较低的地点描述进行标注。
