Occurrence Dataset from the Revision of the Subgenus Osmia (Diceratosmia)

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,369 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods

Bee specimens, including all primary types except Osmia mea Strand, were examined and measured using Leica MZ12 and MZ16 dissection microscopes and ocular micrometers. Photomicrographs of pinned specimens were taken using a Keyence VHX-5000 Digital Imaging System. Because of possible confusion in identities, floral associations are only given for specimens we have examined.

Method step description:

1. Methods as described in the publication.
2. Data From Loaned Specimens: Specimens not housed within our collection (the National Pollinating Insect Collection, historically referred to as the Bee Biology and Systematics Laboratory) will have their owner identified in the Darwin Core(DwC) term "OwnerInstitutionCode". For more information on this term, please visit: http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/ownerInstitutionCode Additionally, loaned specimens will typically have a catalog number prefix starting with "BBSLID......" in the Darwin Core field "CatalogNumber". http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/catalogNumber
3. Withheld Data: Specimens that are owned or have rights holders other than the USDA will be indicated in the Darwin Core(DwC) fields RightsHolder, InformationWithheld, and dataGeneralizations. Specific instructions for each specimen's full data retrieval will be included in the Darwin Core(DwC) RightsHolder and AccessRights Example for the field RightsHolder: 'National Park Service. Please contact Park Service through IRMA (https://irma.nps.gov/Portal/).' Specimens that were collected from listed or endangered plants will have information withheld. This status will be indicated in the Darwin Core(DwC) fieldinformationWithheld. Example: 'yes (TE Listed Plant)- georeferences given only to nearest degree; Elevation, Flora host, Month and Day information has been hidden'
