Description

This set contains data on the distribution of butterflies in western Ukraine and Poland. The assembly is the oldest known for the territory of western Ukraine. These data were obtained from the entomological collection of the State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The main part of the collection falls on the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, collected by entomologists: Nowicki M., Łomnicki J., Łomnicki M., Smulikowski Z., Stöckl A., Świątkiewicz M., Toll S., Jarosiewicz J., Dworżak L., Rizun V.B., Yanytskyi T.P. This dataset is created and maintained by Dr. Kateryna Hushtan and Dr. Volodymyr Rizun from the State Museum of Natural History, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (SMNH NASU). This dataset is created in frames of the project «Digitization of natural history collections damaged as a result of hostilities and related factors: development of protocols and implementation on the basis of the State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine »

Sampling Description

Study Extent

All reports and specimens of the butterflies collected from the western part of Ukraine and Poland in 1883-1993 are applied to create this dataset.

Sampling

The data are extracted from the entomological labels of pinned beetle specimens. All specimens are digitized and published in the Data Centre “Biodiversity of Ukraine” http://dc.smnh.org/

Quality Control

The taxonomic names correspond to taxonomic names in GBIF and EOL. The quality of data is manually controlled and verified, taking into account the research expertise of Kateryna Hushtan, Habriel Hushtan and Volodymyr Rizun, and also controlled through automatic procedures GBIF data validator.

Method steps

1. Taking photos of entomological labels and butterflies; 2. Extracting the locality, collector, date, and other relevant information from the labels; 3. Translation of the primary label information from non-Romanian languages (i.e., Ukrainian and Polish) to English; 4. Georeferencing and verification of localities using recent and antique maps.
