Description

Odonata specimens kept in the Arthropod Collection BOS of University of Oviedo (subcollection code BOS-Odo), provides a good geographical and taxonomic representation of Odonata in the Iberian Peninsula (98.63% of records), the northern half being specially well-represented, and BOS is the largest dragonfly collection from this area. On-line database includes records of 16604 specimens (off-line database with all determinations comprises 17846 items). Iberian Odonata records available through GBIF from other datasets total only 2700 records, whereas dragonfly records from Spain (1784-2009) are estimated in about 12000 records. These facts highlight the importance of this dataset. Regarding taxonomic coverage of BOS Arthropod Collection, Coenagrionidae and Calopterygidae, --with ~ 21% of the Odonata specimens each one-- are the most abundant families, followed by Libellulidae and Gomphidae. The BOS Arthropod Collection contains specimens of 71 Odonata species out of the 79 known from the Iberian Peninsula (90%), including the holotypes and some paratypes of the Iberian subspecies Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis asturica Ocharan, 1983 and Sympetrum vulgatum ibericum Ocharan, 1985. All specimens have been reviewed for taxonomic identification and names updated. Specimens in dataset expand from 1950 to present, being the 1980’ and 2000’ the best-represented decades. Dataset is also provided in DarwinCore Archive format.

Geographic Coverage

Most of the specimens (98.63% of total data) from the Iberian Peninsula (mainly Spain, but also records of Portugal) (Fig. 2). North of Peninsula is better covered: Asturias (~ 4100 specimens) and Huesca (~3400) are the provinces with more exemplars, followed by Navarra, Teruel, Zaragoza, León, Álava and Vizcaya (between 1700-500 records). Data of other 32 Spanish provinces and 2 old Portuguese continental provinces (3 districts) are available in the database. Other countries appear in the collection with few specimens: Morocco and Austria, the following countries by specimens, have 40 registers each one.

Bounding Coordinates South West [30, -27], North East [47, 32]

Taxonomic Coverage

All specimens were identified to species or subspecies. All nine dragonfly families recorded of the Iberian Peninsula are present in the collection and dataset. Coenagrionidae and Calopterygidae, with ~ 21% of the records each one, are the most represented families, followed by Libellulidae and Gomphidae (~ 16% of the specimens) (Fig. 1). Of the 79 species of Odonata known from the Iberian Peninsula (Torralba Burrial 2009; Mezquita Aranburu et al. 2011) , the BOS Arthropod Collection have specimens of 71 (90%), including holotypes and paratypes of the Iberian subspecies Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis asturica Ocharan, 1983 and Sympetrum vulgatum ibericum Ocharan, 1985.

Title Informatización de la Colección de Artrópodos BOS de la Universidad de Oviedo / Digitalisation of the BOS Arthropod Collection of University of Oviedo.
Funding Digitalisation of this biological collection is supported by Spanish National R+D+i Plan (MICINN, Spanish Government, grant ref. PTA2010-4108-I) and PCTI Asturias (Asturias Regional Government, ref. COF11-38) through a contract for ATB.
Study Area Description Odonata specimens kept in BOS Arthropod Collection are almost all from Iberian Peninsula. This peninsula covers and area about 581,300 km2, between 36º and 43º 47’ N, located at southwest end of Europe. The location and relief distribution of the Iberian Peninsula converted Iberia during the Quaternary in a glacial refuge (and speciation centre) for many groups of organisms, with limited contact with the rest of the continent, besides also having been colonized later by fauna from other origin.
Design Description Odonata fauna of the Iberian Peninsula consists of 79 species (Torralba-Burrial 2009, Mezquita Aranburu et al. 2011). Knowledge of the distribution of these Iberian dragonflies has significant gaps, being much lower than in other European countries (UK, France, Germany, Belgium...)(e.g., Boudot et al. 2009). Lack of information about distribution is a major concern in a period with distribution changes drive by climate change, including new African species arriving to Iberian fauna (see examples in Torralba-Burrial, 2009). First aim of the project is generate the dataset with the distribution of specimens deposited in the largest dragonfly collection from the Iberian Peninsula (BOS Arthropod Collection of University of Oviedo) to reduce those distribution gaps. Before digitalisation, preservation status of specimens was reviewed and enhance if necessary (label status, preservation method…). All available data associated to specimens (location and successive identification labels, publications, preservation method and status…) were included in a database using ZOORBAR software. Retrospective georeferencing was carried out when lacking in original sources (labels, publications) and coordinates checked with digital cartography when present. Current accurate spelling of scientific names and identification of specimens were reviewed as there are explained at quality controls section.

Sampling Methods

Material deposited in the Odonata subcollection of the BOS Arthropod Collection has been incorporated by three ways: 1) Specimens from PhD dissertations carried out in the University of Oviedo account for 54.75% of specimens: Ocharan Larrondo 1987 (4108 specimens), Torralba-Burrial 2008 (3213) and Outomuro Priede 2011 (1769). 2) Specimens collected within the scope of research projects, contracts, and studies development in the Department of Biology of Organisms and Systems of the University of Oviedo (32.15% of records). 3) Specimens from other sources: collections of students of Degrees of Biology and of Forestry Engineering of the University of Oviedo, practical courses and diffuse sources (13.1% of records). Odonates from the sources 1 and 2 were collected, predominantly, within standardized sampling in each PhD thesis or project, specimens of source 3 are considered as derived from opportunistic, unplanned and non-standardized sampling. General sampling settings include that adult dragonflies (75.76% of records) were collected with an entomological net; exuviae (18.35%) picked directly and larvae (5.82%) with an entomological or a Surber net. Ocharan Larrondo (1987) specimens were collected mainly in the provinces of Asturias (42.14%), Guipúzcoa (12.95%), Burgos and Cáceres (~8.8% each one), León (6.57%), Cantabria and Vizcaya (3.2% each one), with some specimens from other regions (14.1%). Sampling was carried out trying to capture all species present in each locality. Torralba-Burrial (2008) specimens are all from Aragón, including adults (184 localities, sampling until all species seen in each locality each day were captured, minimum two sampling campaigns), larvae (standardized Surber net sampling in 140 fluvial reaches: Torralba-Burrial & Ocharan 2007) and exuviae (search in the river banks of the 140 reaches sampled, at least two sampling campaigns in each locality). Outomuro Priede (2011) specimens are almost all imagines of Calopteryx spp., with a standardized specimens’ number in each locality sampled. It is not feasible to describe in detail the specific methodologies of each project or study of source 2), but all follow the general guidelines outlined above. In the last few years studies, as a contribution to conservation, adults' catching has been reduced and replaced as far as possible by photographic records (not included in the dataset), unless sacrifice of specimens was necessary for reasons of the specific project.

Study Extent Dragonflies deposited in the subcollection of Odonata of the BOS Arthropod Collection are mainly from the north half of the Iberian Peninsula, collected between 1973 and 2012 (some outliers from other territories or other periods). Half of the Iberian odonates records of the dataset are from the 2000s and a quarter of the 1980s, which can facilitate comparisons over time to assess changes in distribution related to global change, climate change or specific alterations of ecosystems.
Quality Control Identifications of all specimens have been revised (or identified by first time when no determination label was available in the material) by A. Torralba-Burrial between 2010-2012 using suitable literature (adults: Askew 2004, Dijkstra & Lewington 2006; larvae and exuviae: Askew 2004, Doucet 2010). Scientific names on labels were checked with a taxonomic thesaurus. Specimens data labels were checked against related PhD dissertations and publications when available. Georeferences shown in published sources were assumed as true when no coordinates were included on specimens’ labels, previously comparing published coordinates with localities location. Unique collections accession numbers were assigned to each specimen. Other validation procedures included geographic coordinates format, coordinates within countries boundaries, coherence between collection and identification dates and absence of ASCII anomalous characters in the dataset were checked with DARWIN_TEST v1.3 software (http://www.gbif.es/darwin_test/Darwin_test.php).

Method step description:

  1. Previously to digitalization, odonates present in BOS Arthropod Collection were examined and their preserved status revised: specimens were pinned, labelled and frozen to deparasitation when necessary. After preparation, half (48%) of specimens hosted in the collection are adults pinned, 22% preserved in 70º ethanol, 18% exuviae dried and 11% dry specimens in transparent envelopes, all of them stored in metal cabinets in a cold chamber to 6 ºC. Dried specimens pinned before 2000 were in entomological boxes with naphthalene as insecticide, later replaced by paradichlorobenzene, which affect all dry specimens. All data available in the specimens' labels were included in a database using ZOORBAR software (http://www.gbif.es/zoorbar/zoorbar.php) that exports data in Darwincore v1.2 format. A taxonomic thesaurus was developed, that includes all synonyms used in Iberian Odonata publications and spelling variants of scientific names. This thesaurus allows collect and archive names as appear on the specimens’ labels, in a virtually error-free fashion. Retrospective georeferencing of specimens was carried out using digital cartography (GOOGLE EARTH, IBERPIX http://www2.ign.es/iberpix/visoriberpix/visorign.html). All coordinates were captured in MGRS format in the off-line database, but transform to geographic coordinates (in decimal degrees) for the online publication. Coordinates of threatened species protected by law (e.g. Macromia splendens (Pictet, 1843), Oxygastra curtisii (Dale, 1834), Gomphus graslinii Rambur, 1842, Coenagrion mercuriale (Charpentier, 1840)) have been generalised to 0.01º in the on-line database. Dataset was transformed in a DarwinCore Archive format and uploaded to the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT v2.0.4 http://www.gbif.org/informatics/infrastructure/publishing) of the Spanish node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Offline version of the dataset includes identification history of each specimens (17846 items), habitats where were collected and notes on materials derived from specimens (e.g., microscopic preparations, morphometric data, publications…). Those details are available on request.

Additional Metadata

A list of publications citing Iberian odonate data contained in this dataset in provided as annex.

Purpose This dataset has been created with the aim to make available the biodiversity data of the odonates deposited in the Arthropod Collection BOS (subcollection of Odonada: BOS-Odo). Iberian Odonata records (and available databases) and dragonfly records/ databases are scanty when compared with other European countries, being the difference of several orders of magnitude [for comparable areas]. Iberian Odonata records hosted by GBIF (excluding this dataset) only reach 2700 items (http://data.gbif.org, accessed 2013/04/04), whereas dragonfly records from Spain (1784-2009) are estimated in about 12000 records (authors unpublished data). Dragonfly biodiversity known is broader in other European countries, and databases available greatly exceed these numbers: British Odonata database comprises 500,000 records (Parr 2010), Dutch database more than 307,000 (Termaat et al. 2010), North Rhine-Westphalia 150,000 (Conce et al. 2010) or Flandes 55,000 (De Knijf & Anselin, 2010). In this framework, the BOS-Odo dataset is a significant contribution of primary data available for ecological, faunistic and conservation purposes, especially considering their geographical and temporal distribution.
