Description
The database of Lepidoptera pollinator species of Tanzania is a newborn database which contains more than 1850 occurrence records of preserved specimens of Hesperiidae, Papilionidae and Sphingidae families stored at the National Museum of Tanzania. The database was developed through the JRS Biodiversity Foundation funded project in East Africa titled " Assessment of Lepidoptera pollinator species diversity data in East Africa". The project is a three year collaborative effort between Tanzania (NMT, COSTECH and UDSM), Kenya (National Museum of Kenya) and Uganda (Makerere University), which started in 2017. This dataset consists 638 occurrence records of Hesperiidae, 401 records of Papilionidae and 812 records of Sphingidae from preserved specimens collected from Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Rukwa, Kagera, Lindi, Tanga, Morogoro, Tabora and Geita regions between 1949 to 2017. All data have been released to the public under a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence.
Enregistrements de données
Les données de cette ressource occurrence ont été publiées sous forme d'une Archive Darwin Core (Darwin Core Archive ou DwC-A), le format standard pour partager des données de biodiversité en tant qu'ensemble d'un ou plusieurs tableurs de données. Le tableur de données du cœur de standard (core) contient 1 850 enregistrements.
Cet IPT archive les données et sert donc de dépôt de données. Les données et métadonnées de la ressource sont disponibles pour téléchargement dans la section téléchargements. Le tableau des versions liste les autres versions de chaque ressource rendues disponibles de façon publique et permet de tracer les modifications apportées à la ressource au fil du temps.

Données sur le projet
Moths and butterflies (Order: Lepidoptera) provide vital ecosystem services as pollinators of both crops and wild flora. This project will digitize collections in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania targeting at least 50,000 Lepidoptera pollinator specimens. These will include 22,600 from Kenya, 22,000 from Uganda and 6,387 from Tanzania. The collections held in the museums will be enhanced with specimens collected from the field. The target species are in three families, Sphingidae (hawkmoths), Hesperiidae (skipper butterflies) and Papilionidae (swallowtail butterflies). The field work will target voucher specimen collections from biodiversity hotspot localities, the Eastern Arc Mountains in Kenya (Taita hills forest), Tanzania (East Usambara forest) and Mabira forest in Uganda. Sampling will be done in the forests and the surrounding farmlands to capture the diversity in both landscapes. The project will undertake training on specimen collection techniques, species identification, curation and digitization after a needs assessment exercise to list the key data users and the current gaps that they need addressed. Data will be published following standard protocols in compliance with JRS policies on data sharing. The Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), a free open source software tool used to publish and share biodiversity datasets through GBIF Network which is already in use in the region and will be used or any other that partners may prefer. Three workshops will held within the project period for the key partner institutions to develop a strong working collaboration and standard operating procedures for the project activities and to involve other key stakeholders especially the data users in refining the research designs to meet their specific needs and review project progress. As lack of knowledge and capacity in Lepidopteran pollinator biodiversity informatics and taxonomy are major constraints in the region, the project will build the capacity of at least twenty technical staff in the region and three young scientists will have support for their MSc.

| Description du design | Aerial net and light traps were used to collect Lepidoptera. Some sites were once visited with either day or night catch while other sites were repeatedly visited and both day and night catches were carried out. Specimens were stored initially in field envelopes, thereafter relaxed and mounted on pins and spread. Identifications were done mostly by Huruma Lufingo Mtemela for both butterflies and Moths. Georeferencing was from the beginning performed by use of GPS Garmin Etrex 30x |
