Descripción
The Butterflies and Moths of North America (BAMONA) project is ambitious effort to collect and provide access to quality-controlled data about butterflies and moths for the continent of North America from Panama to Canada. The project is hosted by the Butterfly and Moth Information Network and is directed by Kelly Lotts and Thomas Naberhaus. Our goal is to fill the needs of scientists and nature observers by bringing verified occurrence and life history data into one accessible location.
BAMONA is a rich data source that grows daily. Citizen scientists of all ages and experience levels participate by taking photographs of butterflies and moths and then submitting their observations. Additional BAMONA data come from museum and personal collections, published literature, and professional lepidopterists. Quality control is provided by collaborating lepidopterists who serve as regional coordinators. Standardized data and metadata are stored in a database and accessible through the web site (http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/) via checklists, species profiles, maps displaying point data, and other tools.

| Control de Calidad | Data quality is an issue for all citizen science projects because the value of the database is only as good as its weakest record. Because many species can look very similar and because it can be quite difficult to make identifications, the BAMONA project requires a photograph with each citizen science submission. Records are only accepted if a coordinator can verify a species identification from the submitted photograph. Species that cannot be distinguished by their appearance require a specimen for further examination or dissection. Kelly Lotts and Thomas Naberhaus develop the database and http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/ website, coordinate data compilation, develop policies, answer questions from users, and facilitate the work of the coordinators. Volunteer regional coordinators are responsible for data quality control and general scientific oversight. The authors are indebted to the work of Dr. Paul Opler, Harry Pavulaan, Ray Stanford, and scientists from the USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, who were responsible for creating sites upon which this project is based. For many years, general scientific oversight was also provided by Paul A. Opler. |
