Gageodo Island, which is the south-westernmost island in the Peninsula, is characterised by floristic and faunistic features that are distinct from those of the mainland, making it of biogeographical and ecological interest. However, due to the difficulties associated with surveying this Island, it remains under-investigated. In particular, the Island's coleopteran fauna remains poorly understood.New information: In this study, the authors surveyed Buprestidae (jewel beetles), Carabidae (ground beetles), Cerambycidae (longhorn beetles), Lucanidae (stag beetles) and Melyridae (soft-winged flower beetles) on Gageodo Island. Each species was identified and ecological notes were recorded. To update the coleopteran list for the Island, previous studies that examined samples from Gageodo Island were compiled and organised. As a result, 31 species and three families were recorded on the Island for the first time, for a total of 93 species within 16 families. Of these, the melyrid species, Intybiatsushimensis (Satô & Ohbayashi, 1968) is reported for the first time in the Korean Peninsula. This study contributes to understand the coleopteran fauna of the biogeographically important Island in Korea and will serve as a foundational piece for understanding the fauna of Gageodo.","PeriodicalId":55994,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversity Data Journal","volume":"13 ","pages":"e146229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11976308/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143813140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the protection of biodiversity has become a global concern. Biological names serve as biological identifiers and the use of correct biological names helps promote biodiversity conservation research. At present, there are numerous taxonomic databases and software tools available worldwide for processing plant names. However, these resources are scattered across various database websites or personal computers. Users must invest a significant amount of time collecting these resources and expend substantial effort to learn, use and maintain them, consequently leading to high user learning and usage costs. Here, we propose a solution to address the above problem. We collected mainstream and freely available taxonomic datasets from around the world, integrated them into an extensive taxonomic dataset and subsequently mapped the data in this summary database to Solr search engine. Then, based on these taxonomic datasets, we designed database, algorithms and system, developed the system and finally established an online plant name service system (PNSS). The PNSS not only integrates the mainstream taxonomic datasets, but also offers free plant name retrieval, matching, search, parsing and application programming interface (API) services to help biologists conduct more effective research on biodiversity conservation.","PeriodicalId":55994,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversity Data Journal","volume":"13 ","pages":"e142973"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11976303/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143813126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to its similar shape to B.jamesi, this species has often been mistaken for juveniles or immatures of B.jamesi by fishermen working in this area. Species of Bathynomus can be distinguished morphologically and genetically. The differences from B.jamesi are in the shorter body, clypeus shape, uropod endopod and gene sequence. The difference from B.vaderi is in the body shape, clypeus shape, hook number of maxilliped endite and spines number of maxilulla. Based on the morphological and genetic data results, the specimen is a hitherto undescribed species. The samples were collected as a bycatch species in the deep-sea bottom trawl fishery. The distribution area and depth of this new species and population size are still unclear.New information: B.paracelensis sp. nov. is the third supergiant Bathynomus discovered in the South China Sea after B.jamesi and B.vaderi. Its remarkable feature is its short body length and sub-parallel shape. In addition, it is different from B.jamesi and B.vaderi in features such as clypeus shape, number of maxillula keratinised spine and pleotelson spine almost straight. Phylogenetic and barcoding gap analyses confirm that B.paracelensis sp. nov. is not the same species as B.jamsei. Many morphological differences also indicate that it should be a different species from B.vaderi. B.paracelensis sp. nov. may be an intermediate species between giant and supergiant, possessing characteristics of both categories, which can increase researchers' understanding of Bathynomus biodiversity.","PeriodicalId":55994,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversity Data Journal","volume":"13 ","pages":"e144238"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11976304/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143813138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its application is predicted by the need to preselect specimens by taxon and region, as well as by batched digitisation, which occurs with significant interruptions. Focusing on certain taxonomic groups from specific regions allows us to digitise specimens that could be more valuable for early scientific processing. At the same time, the herbarium benefits from such a digitisation model by revising the existing collection classification and keeping the initial ID system. The presented digitisation workflow can be easily reproduced in any herbarium with a limited budget. The purpose of this paper is to provide detailed description and schemas of the principal digitisation stages applied at the LWS Herbarium and to briefly discuss the steps crucial for a successful result. Provided information should help to maintain the digitisation and choose appropriate equipment and materials. We can conclude that, despite its general complexity, the described workflow demonstrated itself as viable and relevant due to its robust design and focus on data quality. Despite a focus on specialists' involvement, it maintains flexibility that allows combining volunteers and, if needed, outsourced efforts. Moreover, its modularity promotes independence of principal digitisation stages and allows long interruptions between the digitisation batches.","PeriodicalId":55994,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversity Data Journal","volume":"13 ","pages":"e148861"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11971642/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
