Summary |
The Entomological Collection
of the Federal University of Pernambuco, among other insects, contains a
thematic collection of about 40,000 insect pollinators. The collection
is representative for the diversity of pollinators of the region and
contains butterflies, hawkmoths, antophilous, beetles and bees. The
objective of this project is to digitalize, georeferenciate and to make
freely available, data on approximately 15,000 records of insects of the
Entomological Collection of the UFPE. This information can be used for
management plans, conservation of these animals and biogeographic
studies. A postgraduate student familiar with the insects in question
will be requested for inclusion of the data, assuring the quality of the
provided data. All Darwin Core obligatory fields will be filled out
besides 24 additional fields including information on the specimens. The
cost effort of the project is U$ 0.66 for one record.
