プロジェクトデータ

The moth fauna of Portugal is notably diverse, with over 2600 species reported (Corley et al. 2024). Recent advances in Portuguese lepidopterology have led to numerous publications describing new species and reporting many first records of species previously unknown in Portugal or the Iberian Peninsula (Ferreira et al. 2024). However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of this group in Portugal, including its true diversity, species ecology, distribution, and phenology. To help address this issue, a group of active Portuguese moth recorders established the Portuguese Moth Recording Scheme, or “Rede de Estações de Borboletas Noturnas” (REBN), in January 2021. This citizen science project consists of a coordinated network of sampling sites across the country, known as stations, that use light trapping as the sampling method. The project aligns with other successful European initiatives that have achieved remarkable results through high levels of ongoing citizen participation (Fox et al., 2021; Groenendijk & Ellis, 2011). The data collected is highly valuable because moths are considered a crucial group for studying global biodiversity changes (Wagner et al., 2011). The ease of sampling and relatively straightforward identification of this group, compared to other less well-known insect lineages with more complex recording, combined with their taxonomic and ecological diversity, makes moths key indicators for assessing habitat impacts (Alison et al. 2017, Hill et al. 2021). The project is based on the following objectives: 1. Establishing and strengthening the Portuguese Moth Recording Scheme by developing a rigorous and robust protocol, along with standardized sampling methods, for long-term moth monitoring through citizen science; 2. Contribute to generating information and knowledge about the distribution, phenology, abundance, and trends of Portuguese moths; 3. Raising awareness about the importance of moths, their conservation, and their habitats, particularly in the context of climate change and declining biodiversity. To achieve these objectives, efforts are focused on expanding monitoring to under-sampled areas, particularly Biodiversity Hotspots and Protected Areas, while also promoting a coordinated European network of national schemes. Additionally, there is a strong effort on training citizens in moth identification, which will enhance scientific knowledge and data collection, and contribute to a robust and stable monitoring network.

Study Area Description Portugal
研究の意図、目的、背景など(デザイン) In each light trapping session, moths are identified to the species level, and the number of individuals is recorded. If a participant is unable to identify a species, the record, along with photos, can be submitted without identification and later reviewed by the verification team. Each identification is manually verified and corrected if necessary. For groups where identification through photographs is uncertain, the identification is left at the genus or family level. Methodological variables, such as trap design, light characteristics, and sampling effort (start and end times), are recorded for most entries. Sampling stations are located in a variety of habitats, including urban areas, and are visited regularly. The system used by volunteers for reporting, and by the coordination team for verifying records, is the European Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (eBMS) portal. The project primarily focuses on macro-moths.

収集方法

Sampling procedures were based on light trapping, with some variation in methodology among volunteers. These differences can be attributed to variations in moth trap designs (e.g., Heath trap, Skinner trap, Robinson trap), light sources (e.g., actinic light, mixed light, LED), and their power. Additionally, the sampling effort may vary between sampling events. These variations are documented in the 'samplingEffort' and 'eventTime' columns. The specific method used for each record is indicated in the 'samplingProtocol' column (e.g., Skinner trap with 125 W Mercury vapor light).

Study Extent The geographic and temporal scope of this dataset covers mainland Portugal and the Madeira Archipelago from 2021 to 2023.
Quality Control Each identification was manually verified and corrected if necessary. If a participant is unable to identify a species, the record may be submitted without an identification and will be reviewed later by the verification team. For groups where identification from photographs is uncertain, the identification is left at the genus or family level. All records representing a significant expansion of a species' known distribution, such as the first records for a Portuguese province or mainland Portugal, were reverified by the authors before being included in the dataset. This verification involved reanalyzing photos of the specimens supporting the record or, when available, directly examining the specimens. Additionally, records of uncommon species were routinely and thoroughly double-checked during the verification process. Data consistency was ensured through cluster algorithms using OpenRefine.

Method step description:

  1. [2021 - 2022] The data were obtained from the "Rede de Estações de Borboletas Noturnas" project database. Records were filtered in OpenRefine based on the "Por confirmar" (to be confirmed) column, selecting only those marked as "Yes", which indicates that participants considered them confirmed. Records without assigned species were also removed [2023 - ] The data were sourced from the European Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (eBMS) database, and only verified records collected before 2024 were included.
  2. [2021 - 2022] To include only macro-moth records, the dataset was limited to the following families: Cossidae, Drepanidae, Erebidae, Euteliidae, Geometridae, Hepialidae, Lasiocampidae, Limacodidae, Noctuidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae. [2023 - ] Duplicate entries - records of the same species at the same location and date - were removed. The individual counts from these deleted entries were then added to the corresponding remaining unique entries.
  3. [2021 - 2022] All columns were formatted according to the DwC (Darwin Core) standard, and mandatory columns were added, including type, modified, license, collectionCode, datasetName, basisOfRecord, and occurrenceStatus. [2023 - ] All columns were formatted according to the DwC (Darwin Core) standard, and mandatory columns were added, including type, modified, license, collectionCode, datasetName, basisOfRecord, and occurrenceStatus. Species names were verified against Corley (2015) and subsequent annual updates.
  4. [2021 - 2022] Identifications for species groups where accurate identification is only possible through dissection were reduced to the genus level. The original identifications provided by participants were retained in the 'verbatimIdentification' column. The 'taxonRank' column indicates the taxonomic rank of the most specific name listed in the 'scientificName' column. [2023 - ] Identifications for species groups where accurate identification is only possible through dissection were reduced to the genus level. The 'taxonRank' column indicates the taxonomic rank of the most specific name listed in the 'scientificName' column.
  5. [2021 - 2022] Some participants use the iNaturalist social network for assistance with moth identification, either from other users or through its AI algorithm. To indicate records identified using this network, a column named 'identificationRemarks' was created and populated with 'iNaturalist.' For these records, the 'identifiedBy' column remains empty. The 'identificationRemarks' column also notes whether the identification is based on the examination of the genitalia of at least one specimen. [2023 - ] The 'identificationRemarks' column notes whether the identification is based on the examination of the genitalia of at least one specimen. The participants provide this information when submitting their records.
  6. [2021 - 2023] The sampling effort for each event was calculated based on the start and end times. For example, '07 hours and 30 minutes of sampling time' in the 'samplingEffort' column is derived from '22:00:00Z/05:30:00Z' in the 'eventTime' column.
  7. [2021 - 2023] The columns 'locality', 'municipality', and 'county' - corresponding to the Portuguese administrative areas "freguesia", "município", and "distrito", respectively - were populated using the "Carta Administrativa Oficial de Portugal 2023", based on the coordinates provided by the participants. The 'stateprovince' column indicates the historical province from which the record originates. Only regular sampling sites (those with more than two annual samplings) have a 'locationID' containing fewer than four digits.

追加のメタデータ

Records representing significant range extensions, such as first records for Portuguese provinces or mainland Portugal, have been formally published in Corley et al. (2022, 2023, and 2024). From the 2021 results, a total of 45 new province records for 40 species were highlighted (Corley et al., 2022), with additional records from the municipality of Lousada discussed in Nunes (2022). The 2022 results included the first record of a previously unreported species for mainland Portugal (Caradrina flava Oberthür, 1876) and 37 new province records of 35 species (Corley et al., 2023). Among the 2023 results, the first records of five species for Portugal (Blastobasis lavernella Walsingham, 1894, Gymnancyla sfakesella Chrétien, 1911, Eurhodope incensella (Staudinger, 1859), Selenia tetralunaria (Hufnagel, 1767) and Condica capensis (Guenée, 1852)) and 152 new province records of 134 species were highlighted (Corley et al., 2024).

目的

This dataset was developed by the coordination team of the Portuguese Moth Recording Scheme (Rede de Estações de Borboletas Noturnas) to make all reliable data produced by the project publicly accessible and provide it with a stable repository. Given the significant gaps in knowledge about Portuguese and Iberian moths, particularly regarding species phenology and distribution, as well as the potential of moths as a focal group for studying global biodiversity changes, this resource aims to serve as a valuable data source for current and future research. The dataset is intended for broad use by the community, ideally contributing to the promotion of nature conservation.

メンテナンス内容 This resource is designed to be updated annually, incorporating the results from the previous year into the dataset
