Habitatquarries: distribution of underground marl quarries in the Flemish Region and border areas, with the Flemish distribution of Natura 2000 habitat type 8310
<p><strong>General</strong></p> <p>The data source is a geospatial collection of polygons that correspond with the presence or absence of the Natura 2000 Annex I habitat type 8310 (Caves not open to the public) in the Flemish Region (and border areas), Belgium. </p> <p>The dataset contains all known, not collapsed, underground marl quarries in Flanders. Several of these quarries have their entrance in or run underground to the neighboring regions/countries.</p> <p>In general, different polygons represent different quarry units with their own internal climatic environment. Units that cross Flemish borders have been split into separate polygons. Exceptionally they may overlap if such units are situated above each other. </p> <p>For safety reasons, the dataset only contains the contour of the quarries, and no details like floor plans or entrances. For admission to research the indoor climate, please contact the Quarries and Safety Department of the municipality of Riemst (<a href="https://www.riemst.be/nl/wonen/groeven">https://www.riemst.be/nl/wonen/groeven</a>; <a href="mailto:mike.lahaye@riemst.be">mike.lahaye@riemst.be</a>).</p> <p>The data source is produced, owned and administered by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO, a scientific institute of the Flemish government).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Technical aspects</strong></p> <p>The data source is a GeoPackage that contains:</p> <ul> <li> <p>a spatial polygon layer ‘<code>habitatquarries</code>’ in the Belgian Lambert 72 coordinate reference system (EPSG-code <a href="https://epsg.io/31370">31370</a>);</p> </li> <li> <p>a non-spatial table ‘<code>extra_references</code>’ with site-specific bibliographic references.</p> </li> </ul> <p>The data source has been based on an unpublished shapefile used in De Saeger & Lahaye (2019) and on a BibTeX bibliography file. See R-code in the GitHub repository <a href="https://github.com/inbo/n2khab-preprocessing/tree/c0821eb/src/generate_habitatquarries">'n2khab-preprocessing' at commit c0821eb</a> for the creation.</p> <p>A reading function to return <code>habitatquarries</code> (this data source) in a standardized way into the R environment is provided by the R-package <a href="https://inbo.github.io/n2khab/">n2khab</a>.</p> <p>The attributes of the spatial polygon layer ‘<code>habitatquarries</code>’ are: </p> <ul> <li> <p><code>polygon_id</code>: a unique number per polygon; </p> </li> <li> <p><code>unit_id</code>: a unique number for each quarry unit.

Supplementary Material - The conservation status of the Cretan Endemic Arthropods under Natura 2000 network
<p>Arthropod decline has been globally and locally documented, yet they are still not sufficiently protected. Crete (Greece), a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot, is a continental island renowned for its diverse geology, ecosystems and endemicity of flora and fauna, with continuous research on its Arthropod fauna dating back to the 19th century. Here we investigate the conservation status of the Cretan Arthropods using Preliminary Automated Conservation Assessments (PACA) and the overlap of Cretan Arthropod distributions with the Natura 2000 protected areas. Moreover we investigate their endemicity hotspots and propose candidate Key Biodiversity Areas. In order to perform these analyses, we assembled occurrences of the endemic Arthropods in Crete located in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Crete together with literature data. These assessments resulted in 75% of endemic Arthropods as potentially threatened. The hotspots of endemic taxa and the candidate Key Biodiversity Areas are distributed mostly on the mountainous areas where the Natura 2000 protected areas have great coverage. Yet human activities have significant impact even in those areas, while some taxa are not sufficiently covered by Natura 2000. These findings call for countermeasures and conservation actions.</p> <p><strong></strong><br>The code is available here <a href="https://github.com/savvas-paragkamian/arthropods_assessment_crete">https://github.com/savvas-paragkamian/arthropods_assessment_crete</a> and a zipped version of the repository is included here (arthropods_assessment_crete-1.2.0.tar). </p> <p>Supplementary Material 1 is the Supplementary-material-1.xlsx file which contains the Arthropod occurrences as compiled from the literature and the specimens of the NHMC. In addition all references of the literature are included in a separate sheet.</p> <p>Supplementary Material 2 1 is the Supplementary-material-2.docx which contains two (2) supplementary figures and two (2) supplementary tables.</p> <p> </p>

List of insects in the Natura 2000 site "Fiumi Giardino-Aterno-Sagittario, Riserva Sorgenti del Pescara", with focus on protected species under the Habitats Directive
<p>The dataset contains records of insects surveyed in the Special Area of Conservation "Fiumi Giardino-Aterno-Sagittario, Riserva Sorgenti del Pescara" (IT7110097), Abruzzo Region, Italy. The species were collected during a field campaign aimed at updating the information about the presence of species protected under the Habitats Directive for the purposes of the site management plan.</p> <p>The survey was carried out in 2013 with different sampling methods: visual inspection (Odonata and Lepidoptera), entomological net (Odonata and Lepidoptera), black cross window traps baited with specific pheromone (<em>Osmoderma eremita</em>).</p> <p>The study area was divided into 5 sampling areas which corresponds to different habitat types: 1. Sorgenti del Pescara (river spring), 2. Parco Fluviale Giardino (urban park with old trees), 3. Orti di Popoli (agricultural landscape), 4. Fiume Aterno (river), 5. Fiume Sagittario (river). Among them, a total of 11 sampling sites were identified.</p> <p>The target taxa were: Odonata, Lepidoptera and <em>Osmoderma eremita</em> (Coleoptera). The information collected on <em>Osmoderma eremita</em> were included in the paper by Giangregorio et al. (2015), a study on the presence of this species in the Abruzzo Region.</p> <p>The dataset contains 37 species, the taxonomy follows Fauna europaea (https://fauna-eu.org/).</p>
