- Description

Data were gathered from published sources and grey literature or unpublished data collected by the authors. 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 (i.e. Accademia Peloritana, Il naturalista siciliano, Oebalia, Rendiconti del Seminario della Facotà di Scienze dell'Università di Cagliari, Thalassia Salentina, Nova Thalassia, Bollettino di pesca, piscicoltura e idrobiologia, Revue des travaux de l'Institut des Pêches Maritimes, Turkish Journal of Zoology, Indian Journal of Marine Sciences, Bulletin de l'Institut National des Sciences et Thecnologies de la Mer de Salammb) proceedings of National scientific societies covering the field of aquatic ecology and zoology (i.e. Associazione Italiana di Oceanografia e Limnologia, Società Italiana di Biologia Marina, Società Italiana di Ecologia, Società Sarda di Scienze Naturali, Società Toscana di Scienze Naturali, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and report or project of government agency and university (i.e. Phare Programma Albania, Padova Digital University Archive, Hellenic Network on Research in Transitional Ecosystems, Ricerca e Ambiente, Rapport Commission International Mer Mediterranee, Progetto Life Natura IT7215, Corila, Departamento de Ecologia e Hidrologia, Universidad de Murcia, Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, y Medio Rural y Marino. Secretaria General Tecnica. Centro de Publicaciones, S.T.M. Servizi Tecnici in Maricoltu Nisanra, Anadolu University journal of Science and Technology, E.U. Urunleri fakultesi su urunleri temel bilimler bolumu). 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) benthos, macrobenthos, macroinvertebrate, benthic invertebrates, benthic 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).
Sampling
- Sampling 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/) and Catalogue of Life ( https://www.catalogueoflife.org/).
