BRC - Caddisfly (Trichoptera) records from Britain and Ireland to 2012

This Trichoptera dataset originates from the National Trichoptera (Caddisfly) Recording Scheme. The survey data comes in four categories ranked in terms of contribution: volunteer recorders; statutory monitoring bodies, especially the Environment Agency; major national, and many local, entomological journals; museum collections. Recording is still continuing and annual up-dates are an aspiration. Many local check-lists are being prepared for electronic and paper publication. The data set contains records from a variety of well-circulated sources e.g the literature, that are considered incorrect. These are included, with an explanation, to flag-up that they have been assessed to assist researchers who encounter them elsewhere.

More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BF_GBIF_15 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BF_GBIF_15).
