Dataset of carabid beetles in Southern Dolomites from 1983 to 1996

This dataset advances the initiative of adopting a formal structure for carabid beetle datasets and promotes open access to such data. This publication specifically targets historical data published in grey literature, written in Italian or published as technical reports not available online. The Darwin Core standard was used to create the datasets and tables have been made available through the GBIF portal (the Global Biodiversity Information Facility). This ensures the data adhere to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), aligning with current best practices in scientific research.
