Occurrence dataset Registered July 22, 2024
izeltlabuak.hu observations validated to species level
Description
This report includes 409188 arthropod observations and 539371 images, mainly from Hungary, but not restricted for the country.
The taxonId in the report represents the Gbif taxonId.
Goal of izeltlabuak.hu is to protect our natural values, create a harmonic relationship between wildlife and human, explore and celebrate the beauty of biodiversity and promote the citizen science through monitoring.
On this platform, users have the opportunity to document their arthropod observations complete with photos, geolocation data, and other pertinent information. Professionals also contribute by identifying the recorded arthropods. Essentially, the platform functions as a monitoring service.
This report includes all observations with the following criteria:
- authors set their license to CC0, CC-BY, or CC-BY-NC
- determined or validated to at least species level by an expert of the area
- location is set to the observation
- observed in its natural habitat (not in zoo, or garden center that imports plants, or terrarium, or similar environment)
- was recorded before 2025-07-31
Purpose
On izeltlabuak.hu users can record their arthropod observations. These records can be utilized for various scientific and educational purposes. The platform's capabilities extend further, as it automatically generates distribution maps for species based on the aggregated user data. These maps serve as a crucial tool for identifying shifts in the distribution of invasive species and enhancing our understanding of the distribution patterns of all arthropod species within the country. Additionally, these recorded observations stand as invaluable resources for scientific research and educational activities.

Methodology
- Quality control
On the izeltlabuak.hu web application professionals or experts contribute by validating and identifying the recorded arthropods. They are users with a specific user role called 'identifiers'. They have access specific pages of the website where they can give their identifications for the observations. They will be recognized as the identifier in the appearances of the observations. It is possible for the identifiers to set an another person as the identifier of the observation as they get the determination personally or got it on a social platform. Identifiers can modify or overwrite previous determinations if they find it to need correction. If taxonomic changes have been made, the corrector will be the new identifier. One observation has only one actual identification. Identifiers must accept the ethical codex for the webpage as well as the users.
