Meetnetten.be - Transects for Eresus sandaliatus in Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the Meetnetten.be suite of monitoring networks for priority species in Flanders, in which data are collected at fixed locations using a standardized protocol (https://meetnetten.be). This dataset contains transect data for Eresus sandaliatus, one priority spider species. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location, locationID and sampling protocol (in the event core) and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded spiderwebs, status (present/absent) and scientific name (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/meetnetten-occurrences/issues
Generalized and/or withheld information: as these are sensitive priority species, location information is generalized to 5x5 km Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid cells. Original locations are available upon request.
We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the INBO norms for data use (https://www.inbo.be/en/norms-data-use) when using the data.

Sampling Description
Study Extent
To support the Flemish and European nature policy, reliable information is needed on the distribution and trends of Flemish and European priority species. 1. Eresus sandaliatus (Martini & Goeze, 1778). The Ladybird spider builds a dome-shaped web on the ground, which turns into a vertical underground living tube on one side. The spider usually lives in this 5-10 cm deep tube. It often catches large and powerful prey, such as dung beetles and ground beetles.Sampling
Sampling was done using the protocol described in Van Keer et al. (2020). 1. The Ladybird Spider will be monitored using transects or area counts within delimited areas, where each visible part of the web will be counted. This dataset deals with transect data.Quality Control
Data are collected using a predefined sampling protocol.Method steps
- Researchers from INBO and Natuurpunt Studie define and document the appropriate sampling protocol for the target species.
- Fieldwork is planned and coordinated by Natuurpunt Studie, using https://meetnetten.be.
- Data are collected in the field by specialized volunteers, using the predefined sampling protocol.
- Volunteers enter the collected data in https://meetnetten.be.
- A custom SQL view is created in the meetnetten.be database to map the original data to Darwin Core as an event core, occurrence extension and measurement or fact extension.
- The Darwin Core views are connected to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
