Methods
• Method
Method Step
- Description
-
Data were gathered from published sources and grey literature or unpublished data. Published sources include international journals retrieved from electronic databases (i.e. ASFA, JStor, Web of Science, WebSpirs, Biological Abstracts, Current Contents e Zoological Records), National journals covering the fields of ecology and zoology, proceedings of National scientific societies covering the field of aquatic ecology and zoology and report or project of government agency and university. The electronic search was performed through a three-way factorial combination of the following groups of keywords: (a) state, region; (b) lagoon, coastal lake, coastal pond, saltmarsh, saltern, brackish; (c) fishes, vertebrates, fish fauna. Publications retrieved were further screened according to two main criteria: (a) taxonomic resolution (most taxa classified down to the genus or species level); (b) sampling design (samplings carried out at a seasonal or higher resolution).
Method Step
- Description
-
Species names have been standardized by comparing the taxonomic name retrieved in the published species lists with the most updated international taxonomic databases, such as the Word Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; http://www.marinespecies.org/), the algaeBASE (www.algaebase.org) and fishBASE (www.fishbase.org) . Synonymies and updating of the taxonomic nomenclature have been carefully checked for all the taxonomic groups considered. Quality control checks have been performed on the original data published and all papers/books with inadequate data published were not taken into consideration as data providers.
