Abstract

This dataset gathers the data of the specimens present in the Zoological Collections of the University of Granada (CCZ-UGR) and coming from Sierra Nevada. As a result of the process of adaptation and improvement of the primary data, 10,005 records have been selected out of the 32,120 catalogued, corresponding to 55,292 specimens out of the 136,837 that are currently catalogued. These figures reveal the important representation of the fauna of the Sierra Nevada, approximately one third of the CCZ-UGR.

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen, arthropodfauna; Sierra Nevada; collections; University of Granada

General description
