European Stag Beetle Monitoring Network
from 01/05/2016
The ESBMN was established in 2016 as an international network of researchers/specialists involved in stag beetle monitoring and was built on the basis of previous scattered and non-organized scientific collaboration among some of the participants. Members represent (alone or in group) different national or regional monitoring networks (schemes). The ESBMN mission is to realise a population density monitoring of the European stag beetle with the aim to regularly asses local as well as international population changes. Our vision is to monitor and review the species status at the full scale of its range with a uniform methodology. The strategy is the inclusion of specialists from all countries within the stag beetles’ range that are willing to set up and maintain a regional or national schemes of monitoring transects.
