How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Nine spider mite species have been recorded from the fauna of Kazakhstan for the first time: Eotetranychus tiliarium (Hermann, 1804), Eurytetranychus buxi (Garman, 1935), Neotetranychus rubi Trägårdh, 1915, Panonychus ulmi (Koch, 1836), Schizotetranychus avetjanae Bagdasarian, 1954, S. brachypodii Livshits and Mitrofanov, 1968, Tenuipalpoides ziziphus Reck and Bagdasarian, 1948, Tetranychus gladioli Livshits and Mitrofanov, 1980, and Tetranycopsis spiraeae Reck, 1948. The distribution of Stigmaeopsis malkovskii (Wainstein, 1956), Tetranychus przhevalskii Reck, 1956, and T. similis Wainstein, 1958 in South-East Kazakhstan has also been established. New data on host plants have been obtained for the 12 spider mite species.
