Description
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 4,748 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. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Secondly, we would like to thank DEMNA-DNE (Yvan Barbier) and Belspo (Aline Van der Werf) who financially supported us in order to make a taxonomical backbone for Belgium and André Heughebaert (Belgian Biodiversity Platform) who did the logistic and digital follow up of the taxonomical backbone. We thank SRBE, RBINS, INBO, BIM, DEMNA-DNE, Natuurpunt, Natagora, Likona and Atalanta for providing their species data and other help they have provided. Further, we personally like to thank Paolo Audisio, Jean-Yves Baugnée, Guido Bonamie, André Braeckman, Stéphane Claerebout, Hubert Cloth, Marc Counhaye, Marc Delbol, Maurice Delwaide, Juul De Witte, Marcel Galant, Kevin Gielen, Vincent Grifnée, Rens Hendrickx, David Ignace, Frank Köhler, Pierre-Nicolas Libert, Pol Limbourg, Hugo Raemdonck, Johan Robben, Gilles San Martin, Tim Struyve, Yves Thieren, Michel Van Malderen and Koen Verhoeyen for checking individual specimens in their collections, commenting on earlier versions of the manuscript and/or providing additional data and literature.
