Description

Danish: Den Store Sneglejagt 2015. Occurrence dataset created by a citizen science project for schools and day care centres, conducted from September 1 to October 1, 2015, in Denmark. The survey was organized by ConDidact (Danish private company with several websites used for teaching pupils about e.g. Danish animals, www.danske-dyr.dk). The participants searched for 6 species of snails: • Arion ater (European Black Slug, Danish: Sort skovsnegl) • Arion rufus (Large Red Slug, Danish: Rød skovsnegl) • Arion cf. vulgaris (Spanish slug, Danish: Iberisk skovsnegl) • Helix pomatia (Burgundy Snail, Danish: Vinbjergsnegl) • Cepaea hortensis (White-lip Gardensnail, Danish: Havesnegl) • Cepaea nemoralis (Larger Banded Snail, Danish: Lundsnegl) The project invited the public to search for specific species in their local area. Species descriptions, instructions etc. were made available on a project website (http://danske-dyr.dk/Svær/naturjagter/Den store Sneglejagt 2015/). Observations of species could be submitted through an online form. The species observations were documented by digital photos, and later were validated by scientific experts.
