    Quality control

    Data do not have comprehensive geographic or taxonomic coverage. OHBR aims to maintain a high standard of data quality and all records are validated and verified in accordance with OHBR policy. Taxonomic names were up-dated to comply with the latest UKSI in January 2024.

    Method steps

    1. Field records submitted to OHBR and HBRG and/or IMAG, with some records extracted from literature. Recording is mostly casual and records received from individual recorders undergo validation and are verified in accordance with OHBR policy.
