Description
This checklist documents the distribution of all described species of Hymenoptera (Insecta) in northern North America tabulated across the provinces and territories of Canada, the state of Alaska (United States of America) and Greenland (Denmark).
Data Records
The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 3,573 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section.
