Description

This dataset gathers the data of the specimens present in the Zoological Collections of the University of Granada (CCZ-UGR) and coming from Sierra Nevada. As a result of the process of adaptation and improvement of the primary data, 10,005 records have been selected out of the 32,120 catalogued, corresponding to 55,292 specimens out of the 136,837 that are currently catalogued. These figures reveal the important representation of the fauna of the Sierra Nevada, approximately one third of the CCZ-UGR.

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to compile all the information on the arthropodfauna of the Sierra Nevada present in the different collections of the Zoology Collections Laboratory of the University of Granada.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The working area is the geographical area of Sierra Nevada, according to Jiménez Olivencia (1990)

Sampling

Direct sampling, pitfall and light traps

Method steps

Screening of records from the Sierra Nevada geographic area.
Mounting, identification and incorporation into the zoological collections of the specimens from the sampling carried out during the SmartEcomountains project.
Create a database using the ELYSIA program (https://www.gbif.es/en/software/elysia/) that collects all the records from steps 1 and 2.
