Method Step
- Description
- Animals were collected in 17 sites of Torre Guaceto (Italy), in summer and winter, using the leaf pack technique. Leaves were collected from the study site; the basal and apical parts of all leaves were cut off and only the central section was used. Before sampling, leaf packs (5 mm mesh size) were filled with 3.000 + 0.005 g of oven-dried leaves (60 °C, 72 h). For each sampling site, three leaf packs were placed and retrieved after 7, 18 and 46 days (the sampling time is reported in the field measurementRemarks of the dataset) of continuous submersion from each site and in the two seasons considered. Leaf packs were placed in separate plastic containers and rapidly brought to the laboratory, where the leaves were gently washed with tap water to remove sediments and animals. All animals were identified to the genus level, and, whenever possible, to species level, counted, measured (body length) and their body mass determined.
