Specimen records are infrequent from 1891 until 1956, after which records are available for almost every year until 2025. Sampling took place at all times of the year. However, 80% of records were collected between March 1 and August 31.","sampling":"Sweep nets and beating sheets were commonly used to collect adults in the field. D-frame kick nets were used to collect nymphs. Some of these nymphs were brought back to research institutions to be reared in artificial streams until emergence. Other sampling techniques used by collectors in West Virginia have included ultraviolet light traps, malaise traps, emergence traps placed over water, and Lindgren funnel traps.","methodSteps":["The assembly of this dataset was a collaborative process. Researchers at the Illinois Natural History Survey used the collection management software TaxonWorks to digitize all Plecoptera specimens held by this institution. They also submitted loan requests to Brigham Young University, Colorado State University at Fort Collins, The United States National Museum, West Virginia University, and Cornell University. Specimens from these institutions were entered digitally into TaxonWorks. All records from West Virginia were then filtered from the database and exported in DarwinCore Format as a TSV file. Co-authors from other institutions sent data in the form of spreadsheets to the corresponding author. These were then brought into conformity with Darwin Core standards as published by the Darwin Core Maintenance Group and combined with the data stored in TaxonWorks in a single spreadsheet. The corresponding author checked the data for errors using the publicly available software OpenRefine. Raw data files and previous versions of the dataset were saved in OneDrive."]},"countryCoverage":[],"collections":[{"name":"Illinois Natural History Survey Insect Collection, Champaign, IL, USA","specimenPreservationMethod":"PINNED","curatorialUnits":[]},{"name":"Monte L.
