Biological Station Wijster standard trapping program: Sampling event data for ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

The present project aimed to digitize 10% of the dataset, which will be the start of the complete disclosure and digital free and FAIR availability of all data from the Wijster ground beetle survey. The project envisioned digitizing and publishing a stand-alone dataset that can be used directly for biodiversity research. This involves the digitizing all species captured in the early years of the research (the period 1959-1967). Because it was unclear how fast the digitization will proceed, the following years were prioritized: 1959, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1961. These years were selected to provide baseline data for a maximum number of locations that are presently still monitored.
