Macroinvertebrates data of the Italian mountain lakes from 1902 to 2016.
The dataset encompasses all geographic and historical data available on macroinvertebrates of the Italian mountain lakes from 1902 to 2016. The data set, divided per Italian mountain range (Alps and Apennines) and administrative region, covers more than a century of studies of many foreign and Italian scientists. The data set includes 2372 records and shows macroinvertebrate occurrence data in 176 Alpine and in 13 Apennine lakes, of which 178 of natural origin, 5 reservoirs, and 6 artificially extended. The data set lists 605 taxa, updated on the basis of their current taxonomic position. Only 353 taxa are identified at species level.

- Description
-
Search for papers was conducted in the archives and online library of the CNR-ISE. Other scientific papers were searched at academic or museum libraries. Lastly, internet (Scholar) provided information on bibliography, titles, and sources of the recent authors. A total of 76 published papers were obtained for the period 1902-2016, comprising grey literature (i.e. materials and research produced by organizations outside of the traditional commercial or academic publishing and distribution channels), educational, and Italian and international papers.
Online tools supplied by the LifeWatch infrastructure based on different large zoological and botanical taxonomic index and database known at European level following Pan-European Species directories Infrastructure like PESI, World Register of Marine Species - WORMS, and Catalog of Life were used. The online tools facilitate the taxonomic cleaning work of the researchers presenting at once the information on the species coming from different main international Global Species Databases (WORMS, Pesi, Catalogue of Life, etc.)
Sampling
- Sampling Description
-
The data set was created by collating different data sets included in several published scientific or educational papers.
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/) and Catalog of Life ( https://www.catalogueoflife.org/). Synonymies and updating of the taxonomic nomenclature have been carefully checked for all the taxonomic groups considered.
