Geographic Coverage

Global terrestrial coverage (except Antartica). Over 90% of the specimens in this dataset are collected in Canada, of which 95% in the province Quebec.

Taxonomic Coverage

This dataset includes all Odonata (25,500+) and Trichoptera (7,100+) specimens in the collection. Digitization has started for Ephemeroptera (5,500+ specimens so far), but most orders in the collection have not yet been digitized.

Temporal Coverage

Sampling Methods

All data are manually digitized as text from specimen labels. No images were taken.

Method step description:

1. Examine specimen and any attached/included labels.
2. Create new record in collection database and populate fields with the information on the specimen label. Use controlled vocabularies where relevant. Determinations are recorded in a related table (included in this dataset as http://rs.gbif.org/extension/dwc/identification.xml), as are groups of individuals (e.g. 2 males, 1 female).
3. Attach the newly generated specimen number to the physical specimen.
