Dung Beetles of the Western Palaearctic

<p>The dataset aggregates the results from a pan-European multi-site experiment, financially supported by the ALTER-Net consortium, Europe’s Ecosystem Research Network. In this multi-site experiment, the impact of dung beetle assemblages on dung decomposition and secondary seed dispersal was studied.</p><p>Working at a multi-site level allowed us to study the link between ecosystem functions of dung removal and secondary seed dispersal, and dung beetle diversity and abundance in a broad range of bioclimatic zones. Therefore, grazed grasslands throughout the Western Palaearctic zone were included in the experiment. By experimentally manipulating the access of certain dung beetle functional groups to the experimental units, we were able to estimate the value of each functional group for ecosystem functioning and assess the impact of predicted climate change on these processes through the changes it induces in dung beetle assemblage composition.</p><p>During the experiments, the removal of different types of dung and seeds were measured and the dung beetle assemblage composition was determined using different types of dung as bait. The experiments took place between 2013 and 2016, at 17 study sites in 10 countries within the Western Palaearctic realm.

Title Dcat-ap-vl
Description Dit applicatieprofiel beschrijft Open Data Catalogi in Vlaanderen. DCAT-AP Vlaanderen (DCAT-AP VL) is een verdere specialisatie van DCAT-AP. De applicatie waarop dit profiel betrekking heeft is een Open Data Portaal in Vlaanderen. Open Data portalen zijn catalogussen van Open Data datasets. Ze hebben als belangrijkste doelstelling het vindbaar maken van data en hierdoor het hergebruik ervan te stimuleren. Open Data portalen vervullen een centrale rol in de overheidsopdracht om de toegankelijkheid tot overheidsinformatie te realiseren. Met dit applicatieprofiel bevorderen we de uniformiteit van de beschikbare informatie over datasets. Tevens vereenvoudigen we het aggregatie proces van meerdere Open Data Catalogi. Dit document bevat de verplichte elementen en bijkomende elementen waarover DCAT-AP Vlaanderen een uitspraak doet. Aanbevolen en optionele informatie waarvoor geen bijkomende afspraken in de context van DCAT-AP Vlaanderen zijn, zijn niet opgenomen in dit document. Hiervoor verwijzen we naar de DCAT-AP specificatie zelf.
