Description
[English] IMEDEA-INSECTA includes more than 7.000 records of the insect collection that are found at the Institut Mediterrani d'Estudis Avançats (CSIC-UIB) located in Esporles (Mallorca, España). The database includes, on one hand, specimens that were collected during the PhD thesis of Dr. Miquel Palmer (all these in the order Coleoptera) and, on the other hand, specimens collected during different research projects on pollinaion at the Terrestrial Ecology Laboratory, of IMEDEA. The latter represent 61% of the total number of records. In order to consult the data of either collection, we recommend to filter the field named: 'datasetName'. The biological material is preserved dry or in alcohol (ants), and most of it (85%) has been collected in the Balearic Islands. The pollinators’ collection is an active one, and new records will be incorporated as new specimens are collected in different research projects. In this collection, we want to highlight a species of bee new to science recently discovered in Mallorca: Dufourea balearica.
[Español] IMEDEA-INSECTA incluye más de 7.000 registros de la colección de Insectos que se encuentra en el Institut Mediterrani d'Estudis Avançats (CSIC-UIB) ubicado en Esporles (Mallorca, España). La base de datos aloja, por una parte especímenes recolectados para el trabajo de una tesis doctoral del Dr. Miquel Palmer (todos del orden Coleoptera) y, por otra, especímenes colectados en diferentes estudios de investigación sobre polinizadores del laboratorio de Ecologia Terrestre del IMEDEA. Esta última representa el 61% del total de registros. Para consultar los datos de una u otra colección, se recomienda hacer un filtro en el campo llamado 'datasetName'. El material biológico está conservado en seco o en alcohol (hormigas), y la mayoria (85%) ha sido recolectado en las Islas Baleares. La colección de polinizadores es una colección activa, y se irán incorporando nuevos registros a medida que se vayan recolectando insectos en los futuros proyectos de investigación. En la colección de polinizadores, cabe destacar una especie de abeja nueva para la ciencia recientemente descubierta en la isla de Mallorca, Dufourea balearica.
