Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use ecosystem resources. The flexibility taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for end-users concepts. Users need standardised continuously harmonised reference systems, as well high-quality complete data sets, but these are generally lacking non-specialists. solution is dynamic, expertly curated web-based tools. Pan-European Species-directories Infrastructure...
Geo-referenced archive databases on mountain organisms are very promising tools for achieving a better understanding of biodiversity and predicting its changes. The Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA) DIVERSITAS, in cooperation with the Information Facility, encourages global effort to mine organisms. wide range climatic conditions topographies across world's mountains offers an unparalleled opportunity developing testing theory. power openly accessible, interconnected electronic...
This is the first paper to comprehensively describe community structure of Scarabaeoidea dung beetles attracted European bison dung, including their diel activity. The beetle was monitored during six research series (April October) in Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland (≈160 m elevation). study material comprised 6,401 individuals representing 20 species. Diurnal communities were dominated by Anoplotrupes stercorosus (Scriba), while Aphodius rufipes (L.) only species with most caught at...
Abstract Contrasting trophic theories of island biogeography try to link spatial patterns in species distribution and richness with dietary preferences, arguing that the turnover among habitat patches changes rank causing a systematic change proportion plants, herbivores, predators across habitats different size. Here we test these predictions using quantitative surveys spiders, herbivores as well omnivorous predatory ground beetles on undisturbed Polish lake islands. We found decreased...
Different populations of two closely related species, Cryptocephalusflavipes and C. bameuli, from western (Alps, Apennines Pyrenees) central Europe (Poland, Ukraine Pannonia) were analysed. On the basis DNA sequences genes, cox1 ef1-α, distinctiveness both species was confirmed. Nevertheless, possible hybrids identified in Carpathian mountains. We found a significant genetic differentiation among flavipes bameuli distant regions but high similarity between north south Carpathians....
Towards redefining the regional division of Poland for faunistic studies For summaries and inventories fauna Poland, especially insects, research professionals amateurs apply a country into regions that became functional standard in 1960s when Catalogus Faunae Poloniae was published. Despite its long tradition local entomological literature, this approach should be treated as inadequate provisional. The present article gives an overview roots traditional division, discusses limitations...
Kateretidae and Nitidulidae (Coleoptera) of the Mazovian Lowland The state knowledge in is summarized, including new records a complete set original literature data. In total, 9 species 79 are listed, which 1 13 were not previously reported.

Collections of specimens in museums natural history constitute very rich sources formation, containing data that can be analyzed many ways and answer various types questions.The aim this article was to analyze the content three big collections darkling beetles (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) show possible uses different analysis with a specific focus GIS-based methods.The source material regard collections, species collecting persons, using number aspects, both as summaries spatial distribution...
BioDATA is an international project on developing skills in biodiversity data management and publishing. Between 2018 2021, undergraduate postgraduate students from Armenia, Belarus, Tajikistan, Ukraine, have opportunity to take part the intensive courses become certified professionals management. They will gain practical obtain appropriate knowledge on: standards (Darwin Core); cleaning software, publishing software such as Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), preparation of papers. Working...
BioDATA (Biodiversity Data for Internationalisation in Higher Education) is an international project to develop and deliver biodiversity data training undergraduate postgraduate students from Armenia, Belarus, Tajikistan, Ukraine. By early career (student) scholars, we aim at turning the current academic education landscape into a more open-data-friendly one. Professional practitioners (researchers, museum curators, collection managers involved publishing) each country were also invited join...
Introduction
Insects on the Biodiversity Map of Poland - objectives and scope project
The Biodiversity Map is a long-term project of the Polish Information Network (KSIB) aimed at integration, presentation and management comprehensive scientific data about species. website (www.biomap.pl) was launched in 2012, following period extensive digitization work, covering bibliographic information, specimen collections, research notes other sources data. Initially, focused on aggregating three insect orders: Coleoptera, Hemiptera Lepidoptera, reported from Poland. Having achieved...
