1. Supporting dataset and methods for body sizes and concentrations of chemical elements measured in elytra and abdomens of Stag Beetles Lucanus cervusGrzegorz Orłowski, Lucyna Mróz, Marcin Kadej, Adrian Smolis, Dariusz Tarnawski, Jerzy Karg, Alessandro Campanaro, Marco Bardiani, Deborah J. Harvey, Marcos Méndez, Arno Thomaes, Al Vrezec, Krzysztof Ziomek, Andrzej L. Rudecki, Detlef Mader, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The dataset presented in this data paper supports “Breaking down insect stoichiometry into chitin-based and internal elemental traits: Patterns and correlates of continent-wide intraspecific variation in the largest European saproxylic beetle” (Orłowski et al. 2020). Here we present the supplementary data and description of methods on the following: (1) mass of elytra and abdomens across 28 local Stag Beetle Lucanus cervus populations in Europe. (2) Population origin and coverage of six major land-cover types, including transport infrastructure, measured in three radii (500 m, 1000 m and 5000 m) around the sampling sites of these populations. (3) The relationship between the mass and concentrations of elements measured in abdomens and elytra in 28 Stag Beetle populations and major land-cover types around the sampling sites.

2. The European stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) Monitoring network: international citizen science cooperation reveals regional differences in phenology and temperature responseArno Thomaes, Sylvie Barbalat, Marco Bardiani, Laura Bower, Alessandro Campanaro, Natalia Fanega Sleziak, João Gonçalo Soutinho, Sanne Govaert, Deborah J. Harvey, Colin Hawes, Marcin Kadej, Marcos Méndez, Bruno Meriguet, Markus Rink, Sarah Rossi De Gasperis, Sanne Ruyts, Lucija Šerić-Jelaska, Adrian Smolis, Eduard Snegin, Arianna Tagliani, Al Vrezec, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: To address the decline in biodiversity, international cooperation in monitoring of threatened species is needed. Citizen science can play a crucial role in achieving this challenging goal, but most citizen science projects have been established at national or regional scales. Here we report on the establishment and initial findings of the European Stag Beetle Monitoring Network (ESBMN), an international network of stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) monitoring schemes using the same protocol. The network, started in 2016, currently includes 14 countries (see results) but with a strong variation in output regarding the number of transects (148 successful transects in total) and transect walks (1735). We found differences across European regions in the number of stag beetles recorded, related to phenology and temperature, but not for time of transect start. Furthermore, the initial experiences of the ESBMN regarding international cooperation, citizen science approach, and drop-out of volunteers is discussed. An international standardised protocol that allows some local variation is essential for international collaboration and data management, and analysis is best performed at the international level, whereas recruiting, training, and maintaining volunteers is best organised locally. In conclusion, we appeal for more joint international citizen science-based monitoring initiatives assisting international red-listing and conservation actions.
