Scymnus taishuensis Sasaji Coccinellidae (Sasaji, 1971) |
A database COLSasaji is a specimen database based on the Coleoptera collection of the late Dr. Hiroyuki Sasaji. The collection was donated to the Kyushu University Museum. Dr. Sasaji mainly studied Coccinellidae and constructed a vast collection of beetles. The total number of specimens at present is 49,150 (July 3, 2017). Each record consists of 24 items according to a format of the Darwin Core of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), such as scientific name, country, collecting locality, collecting date, collector, etc.
The COLSasaji is managed by a text database management system SIGMA.
The COLSasaji file is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results (Head Investigator: 2005-2015: Osamu Tadauchi, 2016: Munetoshi Maruyama) and a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(A) (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and a Grant-in-Aid for Biodiversity Database from Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) (Head Investigator: Osamu Tadauchi).
The use of data in this database is free of charge if the objective is academic study or educational purposes.
Data and Tags are the Following 24 items.
