Description
The Chalcidoidea database has been compiled over the past decade and contains entries from the holdings of all 18 families of this superfamily in the ARC National Collection of Insects (NCI), Pretoria. This work formed the last stage needed to complete the entering of historical data, which will result in a database with approximately 12 000 records. The activities of the proposed project were three-fold: capturing of new records pertaining to the families Encyrtidae and Aphelinidae; the verification of previously digitized entries; and the data cleaning of all entries. All database entries contain invaluable information of hosts, host plants and distribution of Afrotropical Chalcidoidea with the emphasis on groups of agricultural importance.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence 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 12,199 records.
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.
