Geographic Coverage

Geographic Description: Madeira is a typical oceanic island with unique biodiversity under increasing pressure. Madeira island is located 600 km off the Atlantic coast of North Africa, has an area of 742 km2 and a maximum altitude of 1861 m (Pico Ruivo). Madeira island comprises approximately 126 catchments and 200 streams ranging from 1st to 6th order.

Abstract: Here, we present the data obtained from the samples collected in a ﬁeld campaign during the spring of 2015 which aims for a better understanding of the diversity and distribution patterns of freshwater macroinvertebrates in Madeira Island.

Funding: This work was funded by FCT– Foundation for Science and Technology (PTDC/CTA-AMB/28511/2017 and DL57/2016/ ICETA/EEC2018/25).

Study Area Description

Descriptor: Madeira is a typical oceanic island with unique biodiversity under increasing pressure. Madeira island is located 600 km off the Atlantic coast of North Africa, has an area of 742 km2 and a maximum altitude of 1861 m (Pico Ruivo). Madeira island comprises approximately 126 catchments and 200 streams ranging from 1st to 6th order.

Design Description

Description: Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected following the national sampling protocol (INAG, 2008). Samples were fixed in 96 % ethanol and transported to the laboratory.

• Method

Method Step

Description: The data has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardised format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 751 occurrences with 69 records.

Sampling

Study Extent: Freshwater macroinvertebrates from 40 sites (MAD01 – MAD40) from 27 permanent streams in Madeira island.

Sampling Description: Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected following the national sampling protocol (INAG, 2008). Samples were fixed in 96 % ethanol and transported to the laboratory. In the laboratory, samples were rinsed through a sieve of 500 μm mesh size, and macroinvertebrates were sorted and preserved in 70 % ethanol.

qualityControl

Description: Macroinvertebrates were identified and counted under a stereo microscope (Zeiss Stemi, Deutschland). Identification was made to the lowest possible taxonomic level using identification keys (e.g. Tachet, Bournand Richoux, 2002; Oscoz, Galicia Miranda, 2011).
