Summary
Mean annual occupancy estimates for 390 insect species (215 butterflies [Papilionoidea, incl. Zygaenidae moths], 103 grasshoppers [Orthoptera], 72 dragonflies [Odonata]) for nine bioclimatic zones in Switzerland. Covers the years 1970-2020 (for butterflies) and 1980-2020 (for grasshoppers and dragonflies). Mean occupancy denotes the average number of 1 km x 1 km squares in a zone occupied by the focal species. Occupancy estimates stem from occupancy-detection models run with species records data hosted and curated by info fauna. Data on the level of single MCMC iterations of model fitting are included (4000 sampling iterations). The nine bioclimatic zones were defined based on biogeographic regions and two elevation classes (square above or below 1000 m. asl)
